I’ve been seeing a lot of my mom friends on Facebook talking about how summer vacation is right around the corner… can you believe that it’s that time of year already? My kids get out a little late this year, but I know some kids are wrapping things up this week. I have had some of these story starters sitting in my drafts for a long time, so I figured today would be a good day to finally get them out to you before you all head off and forget about school stuff for a few months!

9 Summer Writing Prompts for Kids
These summer writing practice worksheets are great for before, during and after summer vacation. The first set are 9 writing ideas to get kids thinking about the school break, and also to remind them about how school ‘ain’t so bad’ after all!
The second set would be great to send home with kids for the summer. They are patriotic and themed for the 4th of July, and will help your students get at least a little bit of creative writing in over the summer months.
The third set is perfect for back-to-school and the first day of school, and even includes a page to get the children thinking about their goals for the new school year.
