Learning Outcomes
Identify a shared tradition. The child points to the friends reading together and connects the repeated activity to the idea of a tradition.
Describe a personal story routine. The talk prompt gives the child a chance to name a story they enjoy sharing with someone.
Represent self in a group scene. The child draws themselves on the blanket to show participation in the shared activity.
Our Time for Stories: Family Tradition Drawing
If story time turns into wiggles, side chatter, or “I don’t know,” you are not doing anything wrong. Young children often need a picture and a tiny job before they can talk about family habits and traditions.
On this printable page, children look at a picnic scene where Bunny and Elephant read together after a Saturday picnic. They point to the friends sharing a story, then draw themselves joining the friends on the blanket. The page practices observation, fine motor drawing, self-expression, and early social studies vocabulary about repeated activities.
Start by reading the short story aloud, then ask your child to find the story-sharing friends with one finger. Give crayons and invite a simple self-portrait on the blanket, stick figure, face, favorite shirt, or any mark that says “me.” Finish with the talk prompt: tell about a story you enjoy sharing with someone.
This worksheet belongs to the Whizki Plus set “Preschool Social Studies Adventures,” which explores everyday social studies through illustrated preschool activities, conversation, and drawing. It fits the family tradition theme by keeping the idea concrete: a repeated story time with people we care about.
Keep it short and friendly. In a 5 to 10 minute session, aim for one point, one drawing, and one sentence or gesture about a shared story, then save longer conversations for another day.
