Teach children how to draw a witch with a simple directed drawing video perfect for your Halloween lesson planning!
Teach Your Class How to Draw a Witch
Do you need a magical lesson for the weeks around Halloween? The teachers on our teacher team pulled out our cauldrons, threw in some eye of newt and toe of frog and cooked up this fun directed drawing video just for you.
Running just over a minute and a half long, the simple video will walk your pupils through the simple steps they’ll need to take to learn how to draw a witch, including not just the witch herself but also how to draw the witch’s hat and her broom!
All you will need to supply pupils with is paper, pencils and rubbers — although you may also want to provide materials to colour in their witches after their drawings are complete, adding some creative flourishes.
Note: This video does not include speaking, so you can alter the instructions to meet the needs of your class!
How to Get the Most Out of Your Witchy Video
Looking for some tips to incorporate this bit of Halloween-themed learning into your lesson plans? Here are some tips from our teacher team:
- Introduce the concept of witches and ask your pupils to share what they have seen or heard about witches.
- Show the directed drawing video, pausing and replaying as needed, to make sure pupils can follow along.
- Carefully guide your class through each step of the drawing process, emphasising the importance of paying attention and using simple shapes and lines.
- After they have completed their basic witch drawings, allow pupils to add their own creative touches and personalise their witches with coloured pencils or crayons.
After they’ve drawn their witches, here are some extension activities you can add to your lesson plan!
- Ask pupils to write a short story or poem about their witch drawing.
- Have pupils decorate their witches by adding Halloween-themed backgrounds or props.
- Create a classroom display outside your room that showcases all the witch drawings so other pupils can view and appreciate the pupils’ artwork.
