Spark Creativity This Season! 6 Christmas Creative Writing Prompts
By Agee and Row Classical Music Appreciation
When it comes to writing, suggesting prompts can be extremely helpful for students. By providing a prompt, you can give students a specific topic or area to focus on, which can help them better organize their thoughts and ideas. Additionally, writing prompts can help spark creativity and encourage students to think outside the box.
There are six Christmas-themed writing prompts, with coordinating primary handwriting pages included. Students can also illustrate a scene in the space above their writing.
Not only will using writing prompts help get your students excited about writing, but it will also help them to practice and improve their skills. By focusing on specific areas such as grammar, punctuation, and spelling, your students will hone their technique and produce well-written pieces of work. They’ll also be able to develop their unique voice and style – something essential for any writer!

Disguise a Candy Corn Craft Activity, Halloween Craft

Get creative this fall with the Disguise a Candy Corn Writing Activity, where students design, disguise, and write about their very own candy corn character!
Contents:
This fun and imaginative Disguise a Candy Corn Writing Activity gives students a chance to bring their creativity to life by designing a candy corn and writing a story to match! This set includes a parent letter to introduce the activity, a brainstorming page for generating ideas, and a final draft planning sheet to organize thoughts. Reflective questions prompt students to think about how their candy corn’s disguise will help it stay hidden. A four-idea brainstorming sheet helps students sketch different disguises, and a blank template lets them draw their chosen design and describe it. Also included are two bubble writing prompts: "I’m not a candy corn, I’m a…" and "Don’t eat me, I’m a…" to spark creative writing. To support the process, there are inspiration examples of disguised candy corns and a final writing page where students can finish their story about their cleverly disguised candy corn.
How the Product is Used:
Teachers will easily prep this activity by printing the 8.5x11 sheets (10 total pages). Students begin by brainstorming creative disguise ideas using the idea sheet and sketching their designs. Once their candy corn is fully disguised, they use the reflection questions and writing prompts to bring their candy corn character to life with a short story. The final writing page is where students pull everything together, sharing how their disguise will keep the candy corn from being seen.
Why You’ll Love This Product:
This writing activity is perfect for blending creativity and critical thinking. Teachers will love how it inspires both artistic expression and writing development.
