31 Writing prompts for kids
As part of my daughter's "summer schedule" (which was put together to ensure she doesn't spend her summer in front of the TV or stomping around the house complaining of boredom), I have a weekly "writing session." I put together a list of writing prompts and she selects one each week to write.
And since July has 31 days, I decided to put together 31 prompts. Huzzah!
These prompts are mainly written for children but I see no harm in adults trying their hand at one of them, too. After all, I don't think we ever outgrow that fantasy of being a superhero. :)
Enjoy!
31 Writing Prompts for Kids
1. Write a story.
2. Write a poem.
3. Read a book and write about what the book was about. (This works best for a short book. No comic books!)
4. Write about what has happened so far today.
5. Write about one thing that happened today that made you happy, sad or got you thinking about things.

16. Write about something you once did with a friend. It could be something fun, something scary or something that made you laugh.

18. Write about your favorite book or story. What happens in it? Why do you like it?
