Smiling children on a playground wave to a shy girl who stands alone at the left on this include everyone coloring page. Two of them hold the ends of a jump rope, and the girl keeps her hands clasped with a small, unsure smile. A slide, a tree and a swing fill the playground, and it is a medium-level page for ages 5 to 9.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "a group of smiling children on a school playground waving to invite a shy new girl standing alone to come and play jump rope with them, drawn with clean outlines, the children kept small enough to leave a wide white margin below them, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

How to use it

A teacher can use it at the start of the year, when new students join the class. Before coloring, ask what the shy girl feels and what each child would say to invite her into the game. A school counselor can use it with a social skills group, and each child can draw themselves joining the game in the wide white space under the drawing. For a class that plays together at recess, create a page with the game your students love.
