This idea originally came from The Bees Knees Cousin, which I have not been able to find the original post, it seems to have disappeared.

Two Lines in Art sheets labeled "Famous Lines in Art" showcase diverse line styles: straight, curvy, wavy, thick, and more. The left sheet features colorful examples while the right presents names neatly in a table.
A chart titled "Famous Lines" displays 14 types of lines in art, each labeled and illustrated, including straight, curvy, wavy, thick, thin, loopy, scalloped, and more.

Let the kids interpret the lines how they want.  Curvy, wavy and scalloped could be all very similar.
