What Did This Cat Do Today Practice Activities
Printable Nursery, LKG and UKG drawing-writing activities where children imagine, draw and say or write what a cat did today.
Practice that builds confidence
Building a story from one friendly prompt
These Nursery, LKG and UKG drawing-writing worksheets help children think about a simple daily event: what a cat did today. Children practise observing, imagining, drawing, speaking in sentences and making early marks or words to match their picture.
The printable activities may include picture prompts, blank drawing spaces, traceable or guided writing lines and simple question prompts. They are suitable for young learners who are moving from scribbles and oral storytelling towards labelled drawings and first sentences.
“What did this cat do today?” gives young children a clear, playful starting point. A child might draw the cat sleeping, eating, jumping, playing with a ball, chasing a butterfly or sitting near a bowl. The focus is not on producing perfect art or spelling; it is on connecting an idea, a picture and spoken or written language.
Drawing-writing skills children practise
These worksheets support pencil control, left-to-right awareness, picture detail and early sentence sense. Nursery children may add colours, lines and simple marks. LKG learners may copy or attempt words such as cat, milk, bed or play. UKG children can try a short sentence like “The cat ran” or “The cat slept.” Useful vocabulary includes today, cat, did, went, ate, slept, played, big, small and happy.
A simple parent routine
At home, first ask, “What do you think the cat did after waking up?” Let your child answer orally before drawing. Next, encourage one or two details: a mat, fish, garden, moon or toy. Finally, help the child say the full idea aloud and write what they can. If writing is difficult, you can write their sentence under the drawing while they trace or copy one familiar word.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these pages during drawing writing time, conversation practice, morning work or small-group language activities. Invite children to share their cat’s day with a partner, then display pages to show how many different stories can come from the same prompt. The activity also works well for oral language assessment because children naturally use action words and sequencing words when explaining their drawings.
Common errors to watch for
Some children may draw without being able to explain the action, while others may tell a rich story but avoid making marks. Gently bring the two together by asking, “Which part shows the cat eating?” or “Can we write one sound from ‘cat’?” Avoid over-correcting spelling at this stage. Also watch pencil grip, very heavy pressure and drawings that are rushed without any clear action.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The iBloom pages keep the task familiar, open-ended and age-appropriate. A single cat prompt reduces confusion, while the drawing and writing space lets each child respond at their own level. A child-friendly strategy is: Think, draw, say, write. Think of the cat’s action, draw it, say the sentence aloud, then write or trace what you can.
