If I Were a Pilot - Writing Prompt

Let’s be honest, most kids would love to fly a plane (especially if snacks are involved).

This If I Were a Pilot activity lets young learners in K–2 dream big, write a little, and draw their imaginations to life. With a simple writing prompt and a fun drawing section, students can imagine what it would be like to soar through the sky as a pilot.

They’ll write about where they’d go, what kind of plane they’d fly, and maybe who or what they’d take along for the ride (pets, stuffed animals, or even Grandma). Then, they get to draw the scene, expect creative masterpieces featuring clouds, colorful planes, and probably a few unicorns with seatbelts.

Ways to Use:

• Great for a writing center, morning work, or a quick, creative break.

• Perfect for lessons about transportation, jobs, or travel.

• Works well during Career Week or just for a fun writing day.

Advantages:

• Encourages kids to use their imagination while practicing writing.

• Combines storytelling and art for a balanced activity.

• Low-prep, print-and-go resource.

• Gets even reluctant writers excited to share their sky-high adventures.
