Spring Writing Prompts



School isn’t out yet, and if you find your students are having a hard time focusing, particularly on writing, we have some prompts that will help. Writing prompts are a great way to get those minds working. Here’s some spring themed writing prompts to keep students writing.

1.      The trees, grass, and plants are all waking up from winter. Write about their feelings about this. Are they happy to be awake? Would they rather keep sleeping? What does the new season feel like?
2.      April showers bring May flowers, but what if those showers didn’t stop? Write a story about a world where it never stops raining. What happens? How do people live?
3.      It’s the time for gardens to start being planted. Write about the biggest garden you can imagine.
4.      Spring means warmer temperatures, which means you can finally spend more time outside. What are your favorite things to do outdoors in spring?
5.      Now that winter is over, birds are migrating back. Tell the story of a bird making the journey home, and what awaits them there.
6.      When it rains we can stay warm in our homes, but animals live outside. Tell the story of an animal that tries to stay dry in the rain. How do they do it?
7.      Spring is a time of growth. How have you grown over the past year?
8.      If you could only live in one season year round, which would it be? You would still have school and holidays, but the weather would always be the same as it is in either spring, summer, fall, or winter.
9.      It’s the time for spring cleaning. Does your family participate in spring cleaning? What do you think you could do to help?

10.   Did you know that bees are the reason we have flowers and vegetables? Write about a world with no bees.
