Writing Prompts For Elementary Kids

I want my kids to enjoy writing but sometimes coming up with fun or interesting writing prompts isn’t fun or interesting. Here are a few sites I found with writing prompts your kids will actually like writing about!

Scholastic Story Starters

Scholastic Story Starters makes it fun for kids to pick a prompt. Pick from adventure, fantasy, sci-fi or a silly scrambler. Pull the lever and see what prompt you get. My kids LOVED pulling the lever to see what prompt they got. The silly scrambler was great for a giggle. Try it: Scholastic Story Starters.
