Halloween is almost here so it’s the perfect time to add a few Halloween-themed writing prompts to our writing centers.
After you’re done with this fun activity, check out our Writing Center Starter Kit!
Getting Ready
Prep for these Halloween writing prompts was super easy – my favorite!
I printed off the writing prompts on some colorful paper.
Then, I made copies of the writing checklist and cut them out using my paper cutter.
Viola! All done.
5 Halloween Writing Prompts
Since there were five different prompts, I let the kids choose which one they would like to complete first:
- When I got home from school yesterday there was a magical cat sitting on my bed…
- How to Make a Magic Brew
- My favorite kind of candy is…
- Halloween Acrostic Poem
- And a picture story prompt
Then, it was time to engage their imagination and creativity.
Each child wrote their story and then we used their writing checklist to make sure they had covered the writing reminders: use punctuation, check spelling, look up unfamiliar words and re-read the story to make sure it makes sense.
After they finished writing and editing, students took some time coloring the top.
We worked our way through each of the five Halloween writing prompts throughout the week.
If you printed them off on festive paper, you can also hang them up in your classroom for a bit of fall décor!
