Ways to Use the My Favorite Book Worksheet with Kids

Whether you’re using it in a classroom or at home, this worksheet helps kids reflect on a book they love in a creative, low-pressure way.

Start by chatting about favorite books, what makes a book stand out, how everyone likes different things, and why that’s okay. Invite kids to share a few titles they’ve enjoyed recently.

Hand out the worksheet along with colored pencils or markers. Walk them through the six sections, which include a mix of writing and drawing prompts.

Let kids take their time. Encourage them to think about the story, who the characters are, what happens, and why they liked it. The drawing sections help them picture scenes and even imagine something new.

Once everyone’s finished, take a few minutes to let kids share what they created. Whether it’s in small groups or as a class, it’s a fun way to learn about new books and build connections through stories.

Favorite Book Prompts and Drawing Ideas

The worksheet includes six prompts—three to write and three to draw. Each one encourages kids to think more deeply about the book they chose and get creative with how they respond.

Writing prompts:

• My favorite book is…
• I like it because…
• What is your favorite part of the book?

Drawing prompts:

• Create a book cover for your favorite book
• Draw a scene from the story
• Add a new character to join your favorite book

Kids can also color the heading and the books at the top of the page before they begin. These little details make the activity feel more personal and fun.
