In early elementary when students are learning to read and write, the most important thing they can do is practice, practice, practice! After they have mastered their letters and sounds, it’s important that they get to work putting those newfound skills to work by sounding out words and writing some masterpieces.
So how do you get their creative juices flowing at a young age? Writing prompts, of course! Writing prompts can be fun, engaging, and imaginative for kids. If you choose the right prompts, your students won’t be able to get enough, I promise!
Whether it’s funny writing prompts for kids or you’re looking for, or creative writing prompts for kids, you’re in the right place!
What are some fun writing prompts?
When coming up with prompts, it’s always a safe bet to incorporate student interests. What are your students loving right now? Minecraft? A TV show? Popular songs? A trending dance move like “flossing”? Sports? Coming up with a simple prompt that includes something they love is sure to increase engagement.
For more writing prompts for students, you can try incorporating things like the seasons and holidays. These are great for adding a festive feel to your classroom activities!
