Description
Need an end of year art activity for your May or June bulletin board? Imagine these graduation cap projects in your hallway with a writing prompt. The step by step drawing tutorial and PowerPoint also makes perfect no prep, emergency art sub plans for middle school.
A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose patterns for their graduation cap. Moreover, boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan end of year activities for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade graduation using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This activity includes a graduation cap template for easy drawing.
Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop!
Incorporating easy, end of the year art projects like this graduation cap drawing helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!

Fantastic end-of-year activity! We glued the finished cap on student's self portraits. We plan to use them to decorate for our culmination.
