Prague Old Town Square Colouring Page for Kids

Free Prague Old Town Square Colouring Page for Kids

Bring one of Europe’s most historic and architectural beautifully rich public squares into your classroom or home with this colouring worksheet! Featuring the lively scene of Prague’s Old Town Square, with its iconic buildings and cobbled plaza, this sheet invites children to explore geography, history, architecture and creativity all in one fun activity.

What’s Inside

• A detailed line drawing of Old Town Square in Prague, with the square’s broad open space, the surrounding historic buildings and towers, cobblestone pavement and outdoor cafés or bench areas.

• Architectural features: prominent Gothic and Baroque styled buildings, spires and towers that are characteristic of the area. For example, the square features the Gothic Church of Our Lady before Týn whose twin spires soar above the square.

• Space for kids to decide on colours for the buildings, rooflines, the pavement, sky, and maybe the figures (or café chairs) in the foreground.

• A scene rich with possibilities for discussion about urban space, old architecture, tourist life, and how cities evolve.

Why It’s Useful

• For kids: Encourages fine-motor skills, colour choice, and imaginative storytelling (“What might people be doing at the square? Which building is your favourite?”).

• For classrooms/home-school: Offers a strong cross-curricular link: Geography (Prague, Czech Republic), History (how the square evolved from a medieval marketplace), Architecture (Gothic, Baroque), and Art (colouring, pattern, space). For example, the square has buildings of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neogothic styles all around it.

• Helps children visualise a real place and understand how buildings and public space reflect culture, history and design.

• Suitable for a broad age range: younger children can colour boldly, older children can shade the cobblestones, vary the tones of the roofs, perhaps add shadows under the arches.

How to Use It

1. Print the worksheet on good quality paper (or cardstock) so the colouring shows well.

2. Introduce a short mini-lesson: show a photo or talk about Prague’s Old Town Square — that it has been a central marketplace since the 12th century and is surrounded by architecture from many eras.

3. Ask children: “What colours will you use for the building roofs? The façade of the buildings? The pavement? The sky—daytime or sunset?”

4. Provide colouring tools: crayons, coloured pencils, markers. Encourage creative choices: maybe a twilight sky behind the spires, or the cobblestones in greys and browns, or bright cafés in the foreground.

5. After colouring, ask some questions to extend thinking:

   • “Look at the spires of the church—why do you think they are so tall?”

   • “What kind of people might come to the square? What do you imagine them doing?”

   • “How would the square look different in winter (snow) vs summer (sunny, cafés outside)?”

6. Display their artwork—perhaps as part of a “World Cities” or “European Architecture” wall in the classroom or at home.
