🖌️ Start of the Lesson: A Magical Line Adventure!

Introduction:

Gather around, little artists! Today, we are going on a magical adventure through the Land of Patterns and Lines! Can anyone tell me what a pattern is? (Pause for responses)

Story Time:

Let me share a quick story that will help us understand patterns and lines better:

The Magic Garden

Once upon a time, in a beautiful garden filled with colours, there lived a friendly snake named Snappy. Snappy loved making friends, but he was always sad because he thought he was all alone. One day, as he slithered through the garden, he found something shiny and colourful on the ground.

“Aha!” he said, “These are magical stones! Just like me, they have lines and patterns. I’ll use them to find friends!”

Snappy carefully arranged the stones in rows and circles, creating colourful patterns. Suddenly, all the other animals in the garden—like Daisy the rabbit and Benny the bird—noticed the patterns and came to see. They loved the shining stones, and they all played together, creating even more wonderful patterns with leaves, flowers, and twigs!

Discussion:

What do you think Snappy learned in the end? (Encourage responses. Guide them to think about friendship, line, and patterns).

Activity Preview:

Just like Snappy and his friends, we are going to create our very own art masterpiece using patterns and lines! We will find our materials and make a beautiful piece that shows our creativity and unique patterns.

🎨 Let’s Get Started!

Materials Needed:

• Colourful crayons or markers
• Plain paper
• Ruler (to help with straight lines)
• Glue and scissors (for cutting and sticking patterns later)

Instructions:

1. Observation: Look around the classroom! Can you see any lines or patterns? (Encourage students to point them out and share.)
2. Drawing Your Lines: Start by drawing different types of lines on your paper. Straight, zig-zag, curly, and wavy lines!
3. Creating Patterns: Choose your favourite lines and repeat them to make a pattern. For example, draw one straight line, one wavy line, one curly line—repeat!
4. Add Colour: Colour in your lines and patterns with bright crayons or markers. Make it as colourful as Snappy’s magical garden!
5. Show and Tell: When you finish, we will gather around, and each of you can share your artwork and tell us about your favourite line and pattern!

Closing:

You all did amazing today! Remember, just like Snappy learned that lines and patterns can bring friends together, your beautiful art pieces can make everyone smile. Keep noticing patterns and lines around you, and who knows what magical adventures await!

Let’s go on! Grab your materials and let’s make our patterns sparkle! ✨
