A set of holiday recount worksheets for younger students to use when writing a holiday recount.
Holiday Recount Writing Templates (Early Years)
Make early recount writing engaging and achievable with this set of four holiday-themed templates, designed for younger learners. Perfect for introducing recount structure in a simple, supportive way, this resource helps students begin to record and share their personal experiences.
Use these worksheets when students are learning to construct short recount texts about their holidays. Each template invites students to trace the prompt ‘On the holidays…’, before completing the sentence or short paragraph in their own words. A dedicated drawing space allows students to illustrate their experience, supporting both creativity and meaning-making in early writing.
Supporting Early Writers with Writing Templates
These templates are ideal for building confidence in young learners as they begin to write about real-life experiences. By combining tracing, drawing, and guided writing, students can practise sequencing ideas and expressing themselves, even in the earliest stages of writing development.
