50 Activities for 1st Grade

Hands-on ideas to engage digital learners in meeting standards and learning goals.

Fifty ideas for using a digital approach to help first-grade students meet standards and learning goals.

1. Make a map of your neighborhood

Have students create a map of important places in their neighborhood. Have students start with a plain page or use digital grid paper. Then, ask students to draw locations or capture photos with their devices.

2. Explore antonyms

Explore antonyms with your students. Read Dr. Seuss's The Foot Book and create a list of antonyms. You can start them off with things like hot/cold or high/low.

Students can use a creativity and productivity tool, like Wixie , to create illustrations of an antonym pair. Students can use the microphone tool to record their explanations.

3. Go on a shape hunt

Read a book like The Shape of Me and Other Stuff by Dr. Seuss. Then have students walk around school or their home and find shapes, like rectangles, triangles, or even cylinders and spheres.

Then, have students use their devices to capture the shapes they find and label or add narration to identify them.

Seeing Shapes lesson plan with literature connections, samples, and more

4. Create a collage

Have students use a digital tool to represent themselves with a collage of images. Digital tools like Wixie make it easy to add images and move them around.

Students can use this same process to represent events in story things they see during a particular season.

Explore a Me: A Visual Essay lesson plan

5. Design a school backpack

Go beyond simply coloring on the computer to asking students to design something. Since what a first grader knows is school, ask them to design a school backpack that shows off their unique personalities.

Encourage students to use their device's microphone or video camera to record an explanation of their design.

6. Create a digital greeting

Have your students create or add original artwork to a digital creativity tool and then record their voices to create a multimedia message. Copy the URL or export the file and send via email or text.

7. Scratch for self-expression

Remember scratch art? Wixie has a collection of digital scratch art pages with a variety of backgrounds students can "scratch" using an eraser tool.

8. Make a Mondrian

Dutch painter Piet Mondrian is best known for his work that used primary colors and shapes. Visit the Tate Museum's page about Mondrian with your child to learn about this artist and his work.

Have students use a paint bucket tool to fill a Mondrian Coloring page with color.

If your students are ready to create in Mondrian's style, ask them to draw an animal and color it like a Mondrian.

9. Explore emotions with the color monster

Expressing and understanding emotions is hard for a first grader. Read The Color Monster by Anna Llenas to your learners and discuss the different emotions of the monster.

Have students choose one emotion, like happy, calm, or angry, and use a digital tool to illustrate what causes that emotion for them. Then, have them record an appropriate action they can take when they feel this way.

10. Take a 5-senses walk

Go outside and walk around your school. What do you see, hear, smell, touch, or taste? Have students take devices outside to record observations using the 5 senses with pictures and a microphone. Then, when you come back inside, add text and more details.

11. Celebrate a community helper

Community helpers are essential to the health and success of our world. Have students celebrate how a community helper is essential to a community by combining words, pictures, and even narration in a digital sentence strip.

12. Tell a cycle story

Have students brainstorm different cyclical events in nature and then have them tell their own cycle story.

Explore a Cycle Story lesson plan

13. Survey peers

Survey your friends, family members, and neighbors about a favorite book, sport, food, game, or at-home activity. Project a question or use a tally sheet on your white board to collect student responses.

14. Become the masked reader

Take a clue from the Masked Singer television show to make reading fluency practice less stressful and way more fun.

This is especially helpful for ELLs and struggling readers since they can practice, record, delete, and try again to produce their best work. Their work can also remain completely private if the reader is not unmasked.

15. Fashion a family flag

First-grade students learn how the symbols for a country represent its history and values. Ask them to apply what they have learned about symbols to fashion a flag to represent their family.

Explore a Fashion a Family Flag lesson plan

16. Review and rate a book

Have learners write a review of a recent book they have read. Share with friends and other students to give them ideas for new titles they can read!

Explore more book review ideas, including a book review cube, on Creative Educator .

Explore a 5-Star Book Reviews lesson plan

17. Design a hibernation hotel

As students begin considering what living and nonliving objects need, have them design a hotel for a hibernating animal that contains everything it needs to stay safe, warm, and fed over the winter.

Explore a Hibernation Hotel lesson plan

18. Share a symbol story

Read Norman Pearl's The Great Seal of the United States to have students hear from Ben Franklin about the process used to create the Great Seal. Then, ask them to create a story about another US symbol.

Explore a Symbol Story lesson plan

19. Create a trait map

Have students recall, retell, and share text, images, and voice narration about a character's physical traits, feelings, and actions on a trait cluster .

20. Tell a tangram tale

After students have tried to solve tangram puzzles, read Ann Tompert's Grandfather Tang's Story where the main character rearranges tangram shapes to represent the characters and events as he tells a story.

Ask students to use tangram shapes to create their own tangram shape and tell a story about it. Combine into a class book!

21. Publish student writing

Motivate emerging writers by publishing their stories. Use a tool like Wixie to have students write or record a story and create their own illustrations.

Share a URL or export their work to PDF to easily share to family phones and tablets.

22. Graph it

Graphs help communicate numbers and value visually. They are also a great way to practice one-to-one correspondence and counting.

Post a fun question to your classroom white board and have students drag a square or use a paint bucket tool to add their answer. Then, discuss the results as a class.

23. Observe with a new perspective

So much of what we see about our world depends on our perspective. While young students are still working to show what they observe through their sense of sight, have them practice taking someone else's perspective by sharing a view of the world from the eyes of an insect.

You can also ask them to complete an empathy map and then write a story about a day in the life of an insect or a letter to one of their insect friends.

24. Create a classroom tour

It can be a little scary to come to a new class with new rules. Once your students have learned and settled into your classroom routine, ask them to apply their knowledge of locations and rules to design a classroom tour.

Using a digital tool makes it easy to share the finished tour with new students, as well as students joining the class the following year.

Explore a Classroom Tour lesson plan

25. Write a 5 senses poem

In addition to reinforcing scientific observation, engaging the five senses is a great way to help young learners add descriptions to their writing and practice vocabulary.

If your learners would benefit from a little direction, provide a specific topic for their poem.

Explore a 5 Senses Poetry lesson plan

26. Explore the Shape of Things

Dayle Ann Dodds and Julie Lacome showcase shapes in a fun rhythmic story in their book The Shape of Things .

Use this story to inspire students to write their own shape of things book that shows how a shape becomes a common object when specific things are added to it.

Explore a Shape of Things lesson plan

27. Write about your favorite relative

Practice opinion writing through a favorite relative project. Give structure to your emerging writers by using an O-R-E-O Opinion template which asks them to state their opinion, share 2-3 reasons why, and finish with a concluding statement.

Share students' work with their favorite relative.

Explore a Favorite Relative lesson plan

28. Adapt a pattern story

To support your budding authors, ask them to give a twist to a story they know by adding or replacing nouns and verbs.

Explore a list of books perfect for student adaptation

29. Record your positive actions

What actions do your students take to improve their community? Have students draw a picture, write a sentence and record their efforts!

30. What if you could be going places?

Call or video chat with someone who lives far away or read about a new place to learn about the weather and culture in that location. Use a digital tool, like Wixie , to show the weather, what they would pack to wear, and what they would do in that location.

31. Record a favorite memory

Have students reflect and create a favorite memory from the school year.

Tools like Wixie make it easy to add images, text, voice recording and video to capture experiences, feelings, and achievements.

32. Practice telling time by the hour and half-hour

Students in first grade are just learning to "tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks." Use a creativity tool like Wixie to draw a picture that shows an activity that occurs at a specific time each day.

33. Persuade for a pet

Humane societies and pet rescues reported record numbers of adoptions during COVID-19. Encourage your students to write a letter or create a presentation to persuade their family to get a new pet, supporting their opinion with reasons and examples. Help students make a stronger argument with an O-R-E-O organizer.

Explore a Persuade for a Pet lesson plan

34. Raise awareness about an animal or historic figure

Ask students to inform others about a historical figure or an animal. The limited space on a trading card helps emerging writers summarize information and organize their thoughts.

35. Create a digital word wall

Digital tools make adding thoughts to a personal word wall easy. Ask each student to add words they do not know from the books they are reading. Have students look up the meaning in a dictionary or ask a parent or teacher to help them define and add a picture and even voice recording.

36. Write word problems

Have students use a paint or image program, like Wixie , to draw models that help the viewer (and themselves) visualize quantities and relationships in word problems.

37. Inform others

Even the youngest learners can inform others about the topics they are learning. Instead of struggling with writing or typing, have students use a digital tool to add an image and record their voice to share information. Perfect for ELLs.

38. Plan a class party

Planning the details for a party, including needed space (measurement) and a budget (calculations), requires students to practice and apply math and argument skills to a real-life scenario.

Explore a Plan an Event lesson plan

39. Build foundations for scientific thinking

Encourage your student's budding inquiry by using a modified approach to the scientific method .

Have students begin with observation and hypotheses and then progress to thinking about how they can test their ideas and then analyze the results.

40. Create an animal alliteration

Create an amazing animal alliteration - a short sentence in the noun—verb—noun format, such as "Birds build bubbles." Use a creativity tool, like Wixie , to illustrate and record voice narration.

Explore an Animal Alliteration lesson plan

41. Go on a letter hunt

To practice letter sounds, work together to create a class ABC book with pages that contain common words and pictures that begin with each letter sound.

Assign individual letters to students and combine into a class project.

42. Celebrate culture

Creating a safe and respected community culture in your classroom is essential. Have students complete and share a culture poster about themselves, including where they are from, family traditions, and more.

43. Use emojis to write a story

Emojis started as a time-saving way to communicate emotions without having to type each letter, but have quickly become part of popular culture. Use your student's interest in emojis to encourage creative writing. If needed, provide them with a writing prompt.

44. Design a superhero

Tap into students' passion for comics and superheroes by asking them to share some favorites. Then, ask them what qualities or "powers" make a great superhero.

Use an ID card approach to help them define their hero's identity.

Discuss as a class, and then ask each student to design their own superhero and explain how their traits make them a hero.

Explore a Design a Superhero lesson plan

45. Design a how-to book or presentation

What can your students teach others? Procedural writing is an excellent way for students to become experts in a topic and feel confident about their ability to share the information with others.

Explore a Procedural Writing lesson plan

46. Play with virtual math manipulatives

Math manipulatives provide a tangible way to help students see and grasp the nature of numbers and procedures. Use the virtual math manipulatives in tools like Wixie to turn practice into play for deeper mathematical understanding.

47. Write student names in hieroglyphics

Many first graders can associate the ancient Egyptians with pyramids, mummies, and even hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphs were pictures used as a form of writing, representing words, ideas, and even sounds. Have students add hieroglyps for each letter of their name to an image of a cartouche .

48. Create glyphs to share data

Like hieroglyphics, glyphs use pictures to represent information. Glyphs are a great way to get young learners to follow directions and play with how data can be displayed.

Create a glyph activity like this butterfly to have students share information about how they spent their week by adding symbols to a butterfly's wings. Be sure they use the record button to explain their work.

49. Play with patterns

Learning how to identify and create patterns helps build foundations for future math, even algebra! Digital art tools make it easy to paint patterns or add images to make ABA, ABBA and other repeating patterns.

50. Watch the weather and showcase the seasons

The changing weather seasons are scientific phenomenon that students can easily see. Ask students to record their observations using pictures and new terminology to create strong foundations for the scientific method.

Once they have experience with digital projects, let students choose the product or way they will demonstrate understanding… simply make them argue their case before they begin. No matter what you or they choose, transfer as much responsibility as possible to students to motivate and empower them to control their own learning.

I have digital overload from parenting a first grader. School, friend hangouts, and extracurriculars are all managed on my phone.

• My daughter is in first grade and also attends extracurricular activities.
• I'm always looking at my phone because of notifications from school or the parent group chat.
• It doesn't get better during the weekend because she has an active social life.

It's taken me some time to realize but I have been checking my phone every 30 minutes. No, it's not infinite scrolling — it's mostly because I am a parent to a first grader, and I don't have much choice.

Schools, extracurricular activity places, and the parents of my daughter's friends are all digitally savvy, so I have to be as well. But it's starting to take a toll on me.

I look before she's even out of the house

Before our daughter sets off for school, my husband and I check the phone every few minutes. There's a school bus tracking system that lets us know where exactly the bus is and when it will arrive at our house so we can track it. It's the same when it's time for her to get back home. I keep checking the phone to decide when I should start walking toward our gate to pick her up.

As the day's activities take over, the phone buzzes in between to let us know of any updates from the school. Many schools use mobile apps to communicate with parents . Sometimes, it is about class notes, and at other times, it is about the homework for the day. Of course, there are other updates on any upcoming events in the school.

If that was not enough, the parents of the first grade class decided to set up their own text group. Although this unofficial group was set up to connect, collaborate, and communicate, it sometimes became a rant-fest.

There may be times when I wonder if I should exit from the group. But then FOMO kicks in. What if I miss something important that could be useful for my daughter? What if I want to reach out to another parent? What if I am judged for not participating?

Related stories

Instagram scrolling has also taken a toll on me. I get excited each time I see a new reel or update from the school. I am eager to validate that we have made the right choice regarding her school. The teachers had a workshop to integrate art into their teaching methods? That's useful information for me to know.

It's not any better on the weekends

You'd think my digital well-being is better over the weekend without school. But guess what? My daughter has an active social life, and if she is invited to a birthday party, it's usually an online invitation. So then I'm sucked again into my phone to confirm the time and address of where we need to go.

She also participates in extracurricular activities. Ballet and karate may seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum, but they have something in common which is the same methods of communication — text messages. And so, once again, I'm staring at my screen again.

There are times when I am tempted to reduce my phone usage. But then I ask myself, will I be less of a good parent if I do? For now, I'll keep checking my phone ever 30 minutes to make sure my kid is not left out of any activity, party, or school assignment.
