A fun, hands-on activity using a die and a chart to create an elf to include in a narrative text.
Use this teaching resource to create a main character to include in a narrative text.
How to use this resource:
- Roll the die. Match the number rolled to a row on the chart, and see which feature is in the ‘1st Roll’ column. Draw it onto a blank piece of paper.
- Roll again. Match the number to a row on the chart, and see which feature is in the ‘2nd Roll’ column. Add this element to your drawing.
- Continue in this same manner until you have all five elements of your elf drawn.
- Give your elf a name, and write it above your drawing.
- Write a narrative text that includes your elf as the main character.
This resource works great as a writing center activity during the weeks leading up to Christmas.
