Fun Writing Activities: Creative Writing Prompts

Use this fun writing prompt style to provide limitless writing prompts for your class. All you need to supply is the dice and print this resource.

Each student will get a copy of the resource and can share the dice (or you can post the resource on the board or at your writing center).

Students will roll the dice THREE times to get a character, problem and setting for their story. You will never have to hear someone complaining they don't have any ideas anymore! This writing prompt strategy gives students the tools they need to start a great story and their imagination will take them from there.

Giving students the main character, plot and setting helps to inspire other ideas. Also, students can use the chart and look at the ideas next to the numbers they did not roll to further spark some imaginative inspiration. The possibilities are endless with this creative writing style.

Once you have exhausted all writing options, have you students create a chart similar to the one provided in this resource.

They can come up with their own sets of characters, plots, and settings for a classmate and see what creative writing they can come up with as a team.

Allow students to write short stories or even comic strips to get them started.

Have fun with these fabulous writing prompts!
