My Family Celebration
Supporting students as they learn to write recounts is a wonderful way to help them develop their writing skills while reflecting on meaningful experiences. Our free printable worksheet, My Family Celebration, is designed for students in Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4 who are learning about recount writing in their literacy lessons. This engaging resource encourages students to share personal stories in a structured and thoughtful way.
What Is the My Family Celebration Worksheet?
The My Family Celebration worksheet helps students practise recount writing by guiding them through three simple and enjoyable steps:
-
Draw a Picture – Students begin by drawing a picture of a family celebration that is special to them. This could be a birthday, holiday, cultural festival, or any event their family enjoys together.
-
The drawing helps students visualise their ideas before they begin writing.
-
Write About the Celebration – Next, students write about the celebration. They are encouraged to describe what happened, who was there, where it took place, and what made the event memorable. This helps them practise sequencing events in the order they occurred — a key skill in recount writing.
-
Explain Why It Is Important – Finally, students reflect on why the celebration is important to their family. This part of the worksheet invites personal connection and helps students add depth and meaning to their writing.
Why Use This Worksheet?
The My Family Celebration worksheet not only supports literacy skills but also allows students to share and celebrate their own cultural and family traditions. It provides:
-
Structured recount writing practice
-
Opportunities for personal reflection
-
A fun, creative outlet through drawing

A chance to connect writing with real-life experiences
