Summer Speech Bubble Writing Prompts | Creative Writing

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.
