180 Writing Prompts to Keep Your Kids Busy
(Or spark their creativity… That works, too.)
It's no fun being bored while writing. And it's REALLY no fun being bored while grading!
"180 Writing Prompts to Keep Your Kids Busy" is just full of funny and weird writing prompts to keep your students engaged and keep your head from forming a dent in your desk. With such gems as:
You are secretly a potato, and nobody else knows it. How are you hiding yourself, and what happens if someone figures it out?
Write a story about a short stack of pancakes on a road trip to see Elvis.
You are a guest at a wedding. You brought a gorilla with you. It is wearing a formal tie. What happens next?
Write a story that ends with, "But we all knew the tuba belonged to Susan."
Print them out as worksheets or write the prompts on the board and let the kids use their own paper! Either way, you have enough writing prompts to last a full school year.
Suitable for grades 4 - 12.
Amazon has two versions available:
A Kindle version that has all the prompts listed and divided up by 9 weeks for teachers or parents that just want to write it out themselves on the board each day.
A paperback version that is in a pre-made worksheet format for teachers who want to make copies or for parents who want to give their kids a notebook format that they can fill in each day. (This way you don’t have to waste printer ink.)
The Etsy and Teachers Pay Teachers version are just PDF versions of the paperback one. This way you can just download the PDF, print out the page you need and go.
Engage your kids with writing prompts that keep you and them entertained!
