My no prep, digital art project for elementary kids to build an ice cream sundae on Google Slides™ is an easy and engaging summer activity. Students will practice technology skills using my digital ice cream resource and step by step art lesson. Then, pick a writing prompt to draft a creative story about their ice cream cone project.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I implemented this activity with the poem Bleezer’s Ice Cream. The students were extremely engaged. Using alliteration the students came up with a silly name for their ice cream. They really enjoyed this activity.

We made home made ice cream and this was the perfect follow up activity. The kiddos had so much fun creating their ice cream sundaes. I love seeing how creativity the are.
