End of term Easter writing prompts for Zoom and writing prompt ‘hunt’ for school clubs!
Monday
CJS Monday Club: Today for our last session before the Easter break, we had various Easter writing prompts on offer but the twist was the kids had to find them first! Small egg-shaped prompts were hidden all over the room we use and once they had found a few they liked they could start writing. We also had egg-shaped poetry, or calligrams, as they are often known. The idea is to write a poem that fits into the shape of the egg!
Tuesday
11 Plus Zoom Group: More Easter and Spring themed writing prompts on offer for this group. These were the choices:
- Explore what happens when aliens invade and treat humans like we treat chickens
- Write a story about an easter egg hunt that goes terribly and horribly wrong…
- Spring returns after the floods, but what have the floods left behind?
- Spring cannot return and a forever winter begins…
- A character has the ability to resurrect themselves every day and be reborn as someone totally different
- Write about a society where people are encouraged to shed their old lives and personalities at the end of each winter in preparation for spring…
- Write a spring themed poem
- Write a scene describing a place slowly waking up to spring
- Consider the spring themes of rebirth and resurrection… perhaps something has been buried but refuses to stay dead? Perhaps something morphs into a new being at the start of spring, perhaps something is awakened by spring and is instantly hungry
- Introduce us to a quaint small town or village who take spring traditions very seriously…
- Write something using any or all of these words: forgotten, ditch, warped, postcard, daffodil, doorbell, pothole, sticker, broken vase, dirty window, cast away, bridge, egg cup, breathless, sanitised, collapsed, scissors, blossom, blood-stained, treasure hunt, vindicated, tea party, sunburn, monstrosity, canopy, surprise, trail,
