Sample questions
A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.
What is a print?
- Work printed many times from one block or plate
- A photo taken with a camera and printed on paper
- A hand-drawn picture that exists only once
Read the explanation
A work made by cutting a block and pressing it, so many identical copies can be taken.
How is a woodcut made?
- Burn a pattern into the wood, then print
- Carve away the unwanted parts, then print the raised parts
- Carve the design deep, then print from the deep lines
Read the explanation
Cut away what you do not want, roll ink over what stands proud, and press.
How does the print compare with the block?
- Identical in every way
- Upside down
- Reversed left to right
Read the explanation
It is reversed left to right.

What children will practise
Practises printmaking knowledge: what a print is, how a woodcut prints from the raised surface, why the image comes out mirrored, printing from leaves, the advantage of repeat copies, and multi-colour printing with a block per colour. Fits indicator ศ 1.1 ป.5/1.
What's in the worksheet
6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options - How is a woodcut made? (cut away the unused parts and print the raised surface) - How does the print compare with the block? (mirrored left to right) - How do you print with natural materials? (paint a leaf and press it on paper) - How do you print in several colours? (a separate block for each colour, printed on top)
How to use it in class
Play before printing with leaves or eraser stamps, about 7 minutes, whole class. For the woodcut question, pass round a real block so children feel the raised and cut-away parts. After the mirroring question, ask "How must you carve your name so the print reads correctly?" For a question many miss, let a real print at the end of the lesson do the explaining. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.
Common sticking points
- Woodcut: the distractor "carve the design deep and print the hollows" is the reverse of the truth, and children who have never tried it pick it. Feel a real block or show a cross-section. - Mirroring: some pick "upside down". Print a letter R from an eraser stamp. - What a print is: the distractor "a photo printed on paper" draws children who equate printmaking with printing out.
