Wind and Hat - Spring Writing Prompt

Hold onto your hats, literally! When the Wind Blew My Hat Away is a whimsical spring writing prompt that invites students to turn a windy mishap into an unforgettable adventure. This no-prep resource includes two engaging parts: a writing section and a drawing section, perfect for sparking creativity while embracing the breezy chaos of spring.

In the writing portion, students imagine what happens when a gust of wind steals their hat. Does it fly across the playground? Travel around the world? Land on a cow’s head who suddenly gains fashion confidence? The possibilities are endless (and hilarious). In the drawing section, students illustrate their hat’s journey, from flight to wherever it lands next!
