Activity: Making A Footprint Using Palm (Grade 5)

To connect a craft activity with literature and make the story more meaningful, Grade 5 students created “footprints” on paper using their painted palms—symbolizing the crucial moment in Robinson Crusoe when he discovers a footprint on the sand. This instantly made the story come alive for them. During the activity, students expressed how surprised and anxious Crusoe must have felt on seeing that footprint, and some even imagined the mix of curiosity and fear he experienced. Many shared that stepping into Crusoe’s shoes through this creative exercise helped them better understand his emotions. The activity not only deepened their connection to the story but also encouraged them to think critically and empathetically about the character’s experience.
