Creative Writing Prompts
Choose interesting words, add details and reread your writing. Invent a setting, character or object to spark your ideas.
Start with an idea
Use your imagination. There is no single right answer.
1.Imagine you find a tiny door at the base of a tree. Where does it lead, and what do you discover when you open it? Write a few sentences.
2.Write one sentence about a sound you might hear near the tree. Then write what made the sound.
Draw a place, character or object that could appear in your story.
3.Invent a character who lives near the tree. Give them a name and describe what they look like and one thing they love doing.
4.Make this sentence more interesting by adding a describing word: “The bird flew over the beach.”
Build a little story
Use your ideas to create a beginning, a problem and an ending.
5.Your character has an important job to do, but something goes wrong. What is the job, and what problem gets in the way?
6.Write two sentences to explain how your character solves the problem. Use a word such as “so”, “because” or “then” to connect your ideas.
7.Write two lines of dialogue between your character and a friend. Use speech marks around the words they say.
8.Choose a title that makes someone curious to read your story. Write it here.
9.Use your character, problem and solution to write a short story. Remember a beginning, a middle and an ending.
