Do your kids enjoy reading comic books? Mine aren’t really into them, but they love the characters. And I do find them reading (approved) graphic novels on occasion. So I thought it would be fun this year to celebrate National Comic Book Day on September 25th with a fun writing activity using Comic Book Templates.
While my kids are great communicators, writing their stories down is definitely a struggle. They would much rather dictate a story to me or make a video about it. However, they still need to work on handwriting as well as grammar, so I try to make it as fun as possible.
That’s where the comic book templates come in to play. For kids, making a comic strip is a fun way of telling a story. They don’t see it as work. Not only does it work on handwriting and grammar, it also incorporates spelling, art, literature elements and more!
How can comic book templates help improve writing?
Do your kids struggle with creative writing? It can be difficult for kids to put into words their thoughts. Writing a long paper or multiple paragraphs can seem like a daunting task. Using comic strip templates not only visually breaks up their thoughts, but the small boxes seem easily doable.
While writing their story, they can also learn about literature elements such as character development, climax, conflict, resolution, exposition, flashback, foreshadowing, plot, suspense, and more! And the best part…they don’t even know they’re learning because they are having so much fun writing their own comic strip story!
Print out some of these Comic Book Templates, gather some pencils, colored pencils or crayons, and a quiet corner so they can let their imaginations run wild.
