Halloween Writing Prompts

Fall is in full swing when we begin to see Halloween stores cropping up along with candy and costumes. You can even find costumes for your pets. Such a fun time of year for everyone. However, it can also be a distracting time. Kids want to talk about their costume or all the candy they can eat and forget about school assignments. So let’s combine the two for some fun days ahead.

Halloween journal prompts

Print the Halloween Creative Writing Prompts. You can have your child pick a prompt or assign one for the week or the day. Younger children may benefit from the ability to work on the prompt for more than a day. Try to incorporate these prompts into the writing curriculum you are using now. You may want to have your child write on a plain sheet of paper and rewrite it on the writing prompt sheet provided.

Halloween story prompts

  1. Have your child underline all the adjectives, verbs, or nouns your child wrote. Perhaps your child can circle the nouns and underline the verbs.
  2. Make it a family activity and have everyone contribute to the writing prompt.
  3. After your child writes her assignment you can have her present to the family.
  4. Extend the activity and have your child create a list of writing prompts to work on at a later time.
  5. Allow your child to free write and edit it later or have your child edit it herself. The editing process can be quite discouraging and prevent your child from enjoying or learning how to write. Getting the thoughts on paper is the first hurdle. Allow that hurdle to be jumped before moving on to the editing process.
