Looking for a fun kindergarten project? Try this simple but engaging playground name art project based on the student’s first initial.
Kindergarteners make playground drawings incorporating their first initial. Allow one 40-minute period.
- Students turned their first initials into playground equipment.
We talked about all the things we see on the kindergarten playground: ladders, swings, slides, sand, balls, jump ropes, hula hoops, monkey bars etc.
Then we talked about all the extra things we might see on the best playground in the world. Students wanted zip lines, trampolines, water slides, forts and mini trains.
Each child received a paper with a photocopied initial (letters were made on school die-cut machine). They drew with pencil and colored with construction paper crayons.
This kindergartener has a horse in her playground.

This project was inspired by this post on the Art Cart blog.
This would be a nice kindergarten sub plan.
Do you have a favorite name art project for the beginning of the year?
