Roll up your sleeves (and maybe pass the gravy) with the Helping Hands Writing Prompt ! This Thanksgiving activity encourages kids to think about how they can lend a hand, without accidentally dropping the turkey. Writing and drawing come together in this heartwarming and hilarious project that showcases the many ways we can help others during the holiday season. First, kids will reflect on all the ways they’ve been helpful, or could be helpful, this Thanksgiving. Will they set the table without sneak-eating the rolls? Offer to do the dishes instead of disappearing into a pumpkin pie coma? Or maybe their “helping hands” involve cheering up a cranky relative with a joke about turkeys crossing the road. Whatever their helping superpower, it’s time to put it into words. Next, the artistic fun begins! Kids will draw their very own “helping hands,” complete with doodles of their Thanksgiving good deeds. Add in some colorful crayons, markers, or glitter (if you dare), and these hands will be ready to hang on the fridge, the classroom wall, or right next to the dessert table for everyone to admire. Perfect for inspiring gratitude, creativity, and just a touch of turkey humor, this activity is all about making Thanksgiving more special, one helping hand at a time! Enjoy!

Let’s get thankful for more than just turkey with the What I’m Thankful for at School Writing Prompt ! This Thanksgiving activity encourages kids to reflect on the things that make school a little less like a never-ending homework nightmare and a bit more like a fun-filled feast of learning. First, students will write about what they’re most thankful for at school, besides the obvious no homework wish. Maybe it's that one teacher who somehow makes math feel like a fun puzzle (even though it's not). Or perhaps it’s the class pet, whose only job is to look cute while everyone tries to figure out how not to kill the plant on the windowsill. Whether it's friends, favorite subjects, or that sweet, sweet recess time, kids will get to jot down their grateful thoughts. Then, the creative fun begins with a drawing! Students can illustrate their favorite school moments, perhaps an epic paper airplane contest or a perfectly executed lunch trade. This activity helps kids appreciate the little things in school, all while sneaking in some writing and drawing skills. Plus, it's a reminder that even when you're stuck with a 10-page essay, there's always something to be thankful for, like a snack break. Enjoy!

Get ready to rake up some gratitude with the Thankful Tree Writing Prompt !

Perfect for kids who are full of thanks (and maybe a little too much turkey), this activity invites them to write and draw about the people, things, and snacks they’re most grateful for. The fun starts with crafting their very own Thankful Tree. Each "leaf" becomes a blank canvas for kids to jot down what warms their hearts, like family, friends, and possibly an unhealthy obsession with mac and cheese. Once the writing’s done, it’s time to branch out with some drawing! Students can add colorful flair to their trees, turning their gratitude into an autumnal work of art. This activity is ideal for classrooms or as a family bonding moment that doesn’t involve fighting over the remote. By the end, kids will have a beautiful Thankful Tree they’ll be proud to display, and you’ll have a little peace and quiet, at least until dessert. Fun, festive, and packed with good vibes, this writing prompt is a must-have for spreading gratitude (and maybe sneaking in a little spelling practice). Let’s get thankful! Enjoy!

Kids will craft their best descriptive writing, sharing the quirks, laughs, and delicious details of their Thanksgiving Day. Next comes the artistic twist!

Turn Thanksgiving nostalgia into a creative masterpiece with the A Special Thanksgiving Memory Writing Prompt ! This activity invites kids to stroll down memory lane (or at least last year’s kitchen chaos) to write and draw about their favorite Thanksgiving moment. Whether it’s Grandma’s famous pumpkin pie, a hilarious turkey mishap, or the time Uncle Joe fell asleep mid-sentence, no memory is too big or small to make the cut. First, students will put their storytelling hats on, probably stretchy ones to accommodate post-Thanksgiving feast bellies, and write about a memory that makes them smile, laugh, or even drool a little. Was it the parade, a backyard football game, or sneaking the first bite of dessert? This writing prompt gets their creative juices flowing faster than cranberry sauce out of a can. Once the words are on the page, it’s time to bring the memory to life with a colorful drawing. Turkeys with personality, pies with sparkle, and family portraits (possibly featuring stick figures) turn the story into a visual masterpiece. This activity isn’t just fun, it’s a great way for kids to practice descriptive writing and reflect on what makes Thanksgiving truly special. Bonus: it’s calorie-free, but just as satisfying as a second helping of stuffing! Enjoy!

Summer Vacation Writing Prompts | End of Year Activity
ELA, Holiday & Seasonal, Writing, Creative Writing, Seasons, Summer, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables
These writing templates are a cute way to let your students plan and share their summer activities with you and their classmates. Sometimes it’s nice to have a writing project on something that isn’t just a rectangle sheet. Let them cut, color, and write and create a little item on which to write their special summer plans! You could also use this as a way they could report AFTER summer about what they did! How To Use This: Choose which prompt templates will best fit your students’ needs.

Summer Speech Bubble Writing Prompts | Creative Writing
Holiday & Seasonal, Seasons, Summer, Grade 1, 2, 3, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables
These summer-themed writing prompts offer elementary students an engaging opportunity to develop foundational narrative writing techniques. Created with emerging writers in mind, the prompts tap into the familiar, fun context of summer to motivate young students and make writing enjoyment more accessible. Kids will eagerly craft original stories inspired by the bright, lively illustrations. The set includes five illustrated writing prompts featuring summertime scenes like beaches, camps, parks and outdoor recreation. Two additional blank templates are provided for students to illustrate their own prompt or expand an existing scene. After selecting a prompt, students examine the artwork, discuss possible storylines, and imagine dialogue between the characters. Speech bubbles beside each illustration are left blank for students to script their own creative conversations bringing the image to life. Once the conversational bubbles are complete, students finalize the vignette by composing a descriptive or informative sentence underneath, adding more details about the setting or characters. This activity allows students to gain experience writing narratives, integrating dialogue, and crafting simple descriptive sentences. The summer themes and cheerful pictures are designed to motivate even reluctant writers to participate. As students reflect on favorite summertime memories or imagine fun outdoor adventures, they will gain confidence in generating ideas. Since kids will be eager for more practice, the prompts are ideal for literacy groups, writing centers, morning warm-ups, or any ELA lesson focused on advancing creative writing skills. What You Get: - 5 SUMMER Speech Bubble Writing Prompts - 2 Blank or Open speech bubble templates so your students can draw their own illustration! *These summer writing prompts include images of a boy finding pictures in the clouds, a girl building a sandcastle, a boy selling lemonade to another boy, a girl and a boy jumping off a diving board, and a boy and girl eating popsicles on a park bench.

Holiday & Seasonal, ELA, Seasons, Summer, Writing, Holidays, End Of Year, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables
Self- assessment and reflection are important skills for growth mindset and personal development. Here's an age-appropriate way for your middle grades students (grades 5-8) to reflect on their school year. They have seen and done so much through the ten months of a school year, and it is important to take a little bit of time to validate and acknowledge their accomplishments and development! This is a perfect activity for the last week of school, and it also makes a great keepsake! Here is a ready-to-print double-sided reflection that gets students thinking about - Favourite memories: What is one of your favourite memories from this school year? - New friends: Which student in your class became a new friend this year and why? - Improved skills; What was one skill you got better at this year? What topic did you enjoy studying? - What they will miss: What will you miss about your class this year (the teacher, the room, certain people, an activity)? - What they are looking forward to: What are you looking forward to for next year? - EMOJIS!: If you had to describe your year in 5 emojis, which ones would you choose? Please sketch and label each one. Grades to Use With: This assignment is perfect for students in the middle grades who are able to write short paragraphs with relative ease. It could also work for high school special education students as well. Standards: CCSSCCRA.W.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
