Frequently Asked Questions About February Journal Prompts.

What Do You Write About In February?

There’s so much inspiration for journaling in the month of February. Not quite Spring yet but coming out of the darkest part of winter. Let’s look at some of the ideas for different prompts.

• Valentines Day (February 14th)
• Black History Month (In the USA, October in the UK).

• National Freedom Day (February 1st in the USA)

If the list of February Journal Prompts above is not enough, maybe chose one of these topics and see where some creative writing takes you.

How Many Journal Prompts Should You Do A Day?

Usually 1-2 journal prompts a day is a great way to get started. This makes the task seem less daunting and gives you the room to really explore what comes up. But there are no rules here.

Some prompts (what would you say in a love letter to yourself) take some time and thought, you might even do this one over several days. Others (i am happiest when______) might only require a few moments. The daily writing prompts in this post are a combination of short and longer form writing ideas.

What Should I Write In My 2023 Journal?

If you are thinking about your aspirations and dreams for the entire year, take some time to work out these 4 things (ideally on February 1st but you can do this anytime).

• What am i deeply grateful for? This can be the big areas of your life (family, children, health, home, happiness) but don’t forget those small areas of satisfaction (your morning coffee, a great workout, your fluffy winter socks, a specific family member, snowy days). The more you look for all the things to be grateful for, the more abundant you will feel.
• What transformation do you want to achieve this year? No matter how big or small, write it down.
• What is your wildest dream? This is your journal, so no filter needed. Whatever your heart desires, write that in your journal. This is the best thing about journaling. It’s just for you. You can dream as big (or as small) as you like.
• How can I make a difference to the world? What small positive changes can you make to your community, your planet, your relationships?

Take your dreams, ideas, inspiration from this and apply it to your own creative writing prompts to use in your daily writing practice. If you get stuck one day, use the monthly writing prompts to help you out.

I have every month covered on here and I am always adding new prompts. Enjoy developing your creative writing skills as well as figuring out your goals and dreams through the days of February.

February Journal Ideas.

You have a couple of choices if February is your first journal month. Use a physical journal (my absolute preference), use a digital version or try a quick notes journal app like Momento . You can create a February writing prompts calendar to make it easier when you come to journal. Don’t forget to make your February writing journal personal to you with beautiful journal covers.

I absolutely love having journal prompts like these thanks so much for sharing

That’s lovely to hear. Glad you enjoyed them.

Can never have enough journal prompts!! Great post 🙂

Agree with you there!

I love journaling! And I haven’t seen a lot of these prompts before!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Nice to hear! I try and be as original as I can!

This is such a great post with some great tips and awesome prompts for journaling! I love a list like this with journal prompts when I’m stumped about what to write about. Thanks for sharing these!

You are very welcome Katie.

I love that you also included journal prompts for kids! Thanks for sharing!

As I journal with my kids, I thought I would share a few today. Glad you enjoyed it!

This is such a great post! Journaling is one of those self-care activities I always mean to do more of, but don’t always fit in. I’ve been using a life planner that has lined pages in the back which has made it easier to journal/jot notes in my downtime. And since I always have it with me, it makes it easier to actually take the time to get my thoughts on paper! Taking note of these prompts to use for later! Thanks!!

That is such a great idea! I am going to try that myself. Thank you for the brilliant share.

What Do You Write in February?

February is a month for love. A month for hearts and flowers and chocolates. It’s a time to celebrate Valentine’s Day and reflect on what love means to us. But it’s also a time to reflect on all the other things we love in our lives. This February, why not take some time to write about the things you love? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Love Letters

What better way to start writing about love than by penning a love letter? Everyone appreciates a heartfelt letter expressing what they mean to you, whether it’s to your significant other, best friend, or favorite relative.

Odes to Your Favorite Things

Inspired by Pablo Neruda’s famous ode to onions, spend some time writing odes to your favorite things. They can be as simple or as complex as you like, but the goal is to capture the essence of what you love about that thing.

Love Stories (Real or Imagined)

Everyone loves a good love story. Whether it’s a classic romance novel or a modern Hollywood blockbuster, something about two people falling in love captivates us. This February, why not try your hand at writing your own love story? It can be completely fictional or based on real-life events; it’ll be a fun exercise in creative writing.

How Do You Write a Non-Cliche Love Story?

We’ve all read them before. The love stories that make you cringe make your eyes roll so hard that you’re afraid they might get stuck that way. The love stories with all the same old cliches. Boy meets girl; they first hate each other, fall madly in love, and live happily ever after. Yawn. Snore. Who wants to read that?

If you’re a writer, chances are you want to write something different, new, and fresh. But how do you do that when it feels like everything has been done before? When does it feel like there are no original ideas left? Never fear!

One way to break away from the cliches is to subvert expectations. Instead of writing a predictable love story where a boy meets a girl, and they fall in love, try turning those tropes on their head. Write a story about two people who meet and can’t stand each other—but eventually, through a series of quirky circumstances; they come to understand and appreciate each other.

Or write a love story about the girl pursuing the guy—or vice versa! By playing with our preconceived notions of what a love story should be, we can create something new and exciting that will captivate our readers.

Another way to avoid cliches is to focus on character development. Rather than relying on tired old plot devices, take the time to flesh out your characters and make them three-dimensional human beings. What motivates them? What are their fears and hopes, and dreams? Why do they act the way they do?

If your readers can empathize with your characters and understand their motivations, they will be more invested in their stories—and less likely to write them off as yet another cliched romance novel.

Finally, remember that a love story doesn’t have to be all hearts and flowers—it can be funny, sad, or even dark and twisty. There are endless possibilities when writing about love, so don’t be afraid to experiment and find your unique voice. After all, that’s what makes for the best kind of reading: originality.

Tips for using writing prompts effectively with kids  .

Using writing prompts for kids has a wide range of benefits that can help them to become better writers and thinkers.

Improves Critical Thinking Skills 

Writing prompts can improve students’ critical thinking skills by encouraging them to think outside the box and explore different ways to approach a problem. Writing prompts can be used to help students think about and analyze current events, trends, and philosophies that they encounter in their daily lives but don’t necessarily have the opportunity or means to process. Writing prompts that tap into topics that are of interest to them help them make a connection between their world, their writing, and their thoughts and opinions.

Carefully constructed prompts encourage students to take the time to dig into a topic and explore their feelings about it. Often, we aren’t able to articulate our thoughts, feelings, and opinions on a matter until we have gone through this process. In preparing to write about it, students must first think about it and, in doing so, generate conclusions that they must articulate to others. For many, this level of critical thinking is hard to reach without a writing component.

Enhances Creativity and Imagination 

With so many different types of writing prompts available, there’s no end to the ideas and topics we can have students write about. By presenting them with sentence starters, story ideas, and other writing prompts, we are planting seeds of creativity that will blossom in them the more time they spend writing.

Some might worry that using writing prompts does the opposite—that by giving a class full of kids the same idea for a story, we’re taking away their creativity and forcing them into a box. With well-crafted writing prompts, however, that should not be the case. Phrased properly, a writing prompt should open up many new worlds of opportunity for students.

For example, a prompt such as Write about a time when you were afraid to do something but overcame your fear and did it anyway challenges students to delve into their personal experiences, mining them for the gold nugget of a compelling personal narrative.

In cases where we’re supplying more specific story prompts or sentence starters, it’s helpful to provide them with a few choices so they can write about the topics they find most inspiring.

Encourages Exploration into Different Cultures, Topics, and Subjects  

Students keeping a daily journal may begin to find it monotonous if they don’t have different writing prompts to work with at least occasionally. The trend is to just start rehashing their days, which is not entirely unbeneficial, but we can encourage deeper reflection and writing if we provide some other topics for them to explore.

Centering your monthly writing prompts on a few central themes like the ones below helps students turn their thoughts to cultures, topics, and subjects they might not otherwise consider. They might approach these topics from perspectives other than their own or write their responses in formats other than what they are used to. For example, responding to a prompt about bullying in a poetic format could foster deeper exploration and reflection of that topic than simply asking them to write a research paper on it.

What Do You Write About in February?

Coming up with fresh topics to explore is one of the biggest obstacles in writing. A young writer can use up her whole writing time trying to come up with the best thing to write about. If you’re doing daily writing practice in your classroom, you need a constant supply of new prompts to keep your students engaged.

So if you’re wondering what makes February different in terms of writing activities , let’s look at some special events occurring in February that can serve as a jumping-off point for our February writing prompts.

Whether you are teaching a specific lesson relating to a particular day or you just plan to give a brief mention of it as a segue into your chosen writing prompt, it can be fun to tie some of your writing or journaling prompts into fun or historic events that kids may enjoy learning about. It can be overkill to try to do this every day of the month but consider selecting a few of the events below that relate to what you’re already learning or that you think will resonate with your students and look for different ways to incorporate them into your writing time.

• Black History Month – February is Black History Month in Canada and the United States . (Some European countries observe it in October). There’s a whole section dedicated to this topic below. An initial suggestion would be to have students write about a significant figure in African-American or Black Canadian history (e.g. Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., or Viola Desmond) in an essay, short story , or poem.
• February 1st – National Girls and Women in Sports Day (the date changes annually, but is always in the first week of February). Many elementary students might just be getting into a sport for the first time, while others may have been engaging actively in athletics for years. In honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day , have students write a journal entry discussing either the influence sports have had in their lives or one specific memory relating to sports.
• February 2nd – Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day marks the annual North American tradition of letting a rodent predict the change of seasons. On the 2nd of February, official groundhogs throughout Canada and the U.S. are summoned forth early in the morning. If he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If not, spring is said to be just around the corner. Groundhog Day is a fun tradition to celebrate with kids and is a good tie-in to a unit on seasonal changes or hibernation. Students might write a poem about groundhogs, a research paper on the accuracy of the groundhogs’ predictions, or a story in which the groundhog’s viewing of its shadow signifies something new.
• First Friday in February – International Stand Up to Bullying Day. Observed twice annually, International Stand Up to Bullying Day encourages people to wear pink shirts and take a stance against bullying. It serves as an entry point to anti-bullying education and raises awareness of the dangers and statistics relating to this serious issue. You could have students write a list of things they can do if they see or experience bullying or have them create pamphlets that educate others about bullying.
• February 7th – Send a Card to a Friend Day. Remember snail mail? The excitement of receiving a letter from a friend or sending a postcard while traveling? Though it’s not nearly as mainstream these days as it used to be, the thrill of sending and receiving special mail remains. Pass your enthusiasm for slow communication onto your students by having them write and mail letters to a friend on Send a Card to a Friend Day . This is also a great opportunity to teach them how to address envelopes and write their return address. You could have them bring envelopes and stamps from home or have each family bring in $1 to cover the cost of expenses.
• February 7th – Safer Internet Day (the date changes annually, but is always in the second week of February). Safer Internet Day aims to “create a safer and better Internet where people use technology responsibly, respectfully, critically, and creatively.” This is a great topic to discuss with older students and it’s easy to do so using the resources provided by ConnectSafely , the organizer of Safer Internet Day in the United States. There are great writing prompts included in the lesson plans such as write three characteristics each of a Media Literacy Hero and a Fake News Villain. Students might also write and sign a class contract agreeing to use the Internet responsibly by adhering to certain commitments.
• February 9th – National Pizza Day. As far as I’m concerned, if you get a chance to work pizza into your lesson plans, by all means, take it! National Pizza Day is simply a celebration of all kinds of pizza. A fun way to work this into your writing lesson would be to have students write paragraphs arguing the merits of one type of pizza over another—who doesn’t have a strong opinion about that? To turn up the heat, challenge students to go head-to-head in a debate such as Pineapple: Does It Belong on Pizza? or Thin-Crust vs. Thick-Crust: Which Is More Dough-licious?
• February 10th – National Umbrella Day. An annual celebration of these useful accessories, National Umbrella Day could be a good tie-in to a weather-themed unit in elementary school. Challenge students to write a short story where rain plays a key role or write a descriptive paragraph about an umbrella but give it a completely different purpose.
• February 11th – National Inventors’ Day. Fittingly celebrated on the birthday of Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb, National Inventors’ Day celebrates past, current, and future inventors. This day lends itself well to creative writing prompts. Have students write about something they’d love to invent or write a short story about a successful or bumbling inventor.
• February 14th – Valentine’s Day. Traditionally thought of as a day to celebrate romantic love, Valentine’s Day can be made kid-friendly by focusing on self-love, friendship, and familiar love. Simple Valentine’s Day writing prompts include having kids write a poem or make a handmade card for someone they care about.
• February 17th – Random Acts of Kindness Day. Random Acts of Kindness Day , as the name implies, encourages people to perform random acts of kindness. This is a fun idea to explore with students and can inspire several different types of writing. You could start by reading a book like The Power of Me or Kindness Week and then ask students to make a list of kind acts they could do, write a short story that demonstrates the power of kindness, or write a personal narrative about a time they’ve benefited from someone else’s kindness.
• February 26th – Letter to Our Elders Day. National Letter to an Elder Day exists to encourage intergenerational relationships and help younger people recognize and show love to the elders in their lives. (The story behind this day is beautiful. Learn more about Love for Our Elders .) Students could write letters to their own grandparents or other seniors they know or you could have them select from elders who’ve been nominated to receive letters .
• February 26th – Tell a Fairy Tale Day. National Fairy Tale Day is the perfect time to work with students on retelling a story in their own words. You could either read them a favorite fairy tale and have them all retell the same one or ask them to bring in their own beloved fairy tales (or pick one from a selection in the library) and write a brief retelling. For older students, you could ask them to write a paragraph or essay analyzing the themes in a favorite fairy tale.

With all these great events happening in February, there’s no shortage of things to write about with your students. The goal now is to choose a good variety of writing prompt types and topics so you can keep students engaged while also checking off your curricular objectives.

Below, I’ve organized 50 writing prompts into two sections divided by grade level—25 for early elementary kids and 25 for upper elementary and middle school. Within each of these sections, there are several types of prompts including sentence starters, poetry prompts, story writing prompts, and non-fiction prompts.

Writing Prompts for 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, and 3rd Grade

While most writing prompts can generally be adapted for a fairly wide age range, many of them will be too complex for early elementary students. They may involve topics that are above their capacity or require too much printing. At this age, we really want to make writing fun, so we can keep it simple by giving them a starter phrase and/or a word bank and asking them to either complete the sentence or write one to three sentences of their own, depending on their ability levels.

For kids in kindergarten or first grade, a simple writing activity is to have them draw a picture response to the writing prompts and then have them write or dictate a sentence that describes their picture. Second-grade and third-grade students will likely be able to write lists, short stories, and paragraphs in response to these prompts. Just adapt them to the particular needs of your students.

• Write a story about an inventor who can only come up with good ideas while he or she is dancing.
• Write a story about a day spent sledding down a snow-covered hill.
• Write a story about someone who got special powers from eating pizza.
• Write a story about a lonely dragon who gets cheered up by a special letter.
• Make a list of winter sports you have tried and another list of sports you would like to try.
• Write a card for one of your friends. Tell them about your day and ask about theirs.
• Write a few sentences in your journal about a special older person in your life (e.g. a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or teacher).
• Write instructions for making your favorite cold-weather treat.
• Draw a picture of a character from your favorite fairy tale. Write five things about the character.
• Many people use foods like soup, hot chocolate, fresh bread, and chili to warm up on cold winter days. Picture your favorite warming-up food. Use your five senses to describe it. How does it look, smell, taste, feel, and sound?
• Think of a story you’ve read that takes place in the winter. Retell it in your own words.

February Writing Prompts for Older Kids

The different prompt sets in this section can be adapted for upper elementary and middle school students. You might use them for morning work, to teach a new skill (such as opinion writing or research papers), or to practice freewriting as a way of encouraging reluctant writers.

They can be used for both formal and informal writing assignments.

If using a poetry prompt with older kids, you could assign them to write a specific type of poem such as a haiku, sonnet, or ballad or you can leave that decision up to them. It just depends on your objectives for the lesson

• Write a poem about an influential Black American (or Canadian) who is making an impact in the world today. Try to include details about what makes them unique, their accomplishments, and how they’re inspiring others to follow in their footsteps.
• Write a poem about the causes and effects of bullying.
• Write a poem about everything you love—or don’t love—about winter.
• Write a poem about a random act of kindness and its ripple effects.
• Write a poem about a successful female athlete.

February is a month full of love, friendship, and fun. Journaling can be a great way for kids to explore their emotions and the importance of kindness and healthy relationships. Here are some journal prompts for kids to reflect on in the month of February.

• Valentine’s Day is coming up soon—how can you show love to those around you this year? Will you create cards or give out treats to friends? How can we spread kindness through our actions and words all year round?
• Describe your ideal February day using all five senses (taste, smell, sight, touch, sound). Would you want to spend it outdoors or inside? What would be some activities that make this day special?
• Create a list of all the things that make February unique for you personally—from seasonal holidays such as Valentine’s Day to special events or occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. Why are these moments so important to remember each year?
• Think about changes that have occurred since last February—in your life, within your family or community, and across the world—and why these differences matter to you personally.
• Think back to the start of the new year and write down some of the special moments that have stood out to you. It could be something as simple as playing in the snow with friends, learning a new skill, or trying something completely new. Don’t forget to include lots of details and facts about these memories like where they took place, how they made you feel, and what you learned from the experiences.

Black History Month is a special time of the year to focus on and recognize the achievements, contributions, and sacrifices of African Americans throughout history. For kids, it’s an important opportunity to learn not only about the past but also how their actions today can help shape a better future. Writing activities are one way to engage students in this conversation and create meaningful connections. Here are some Black History Month writing prompts for kids.

• Create your own manifesto or mission statement that reflects your vision for creating a more equal society both now and in the future. How will you act as an agent of change? What values do you want to uphold?
• Imagine you could ask a famous historical figure from African American history any question—what would it be? Write out the dialogue between you two as if you were having a real conversation with each other.
• Write from the perspective of someone living during a time when segregation was still enforced by law in many states across America. Describe what life was like for African Americans at that time and how they responded with courage even when faced with adversity.
• Do research on current events related to civil rights issues in our country today such as police brutality, voter suppression, and economic inequality. Then write an opinion piece expressing your views on these topics and how we can work together towards progress and justice for all people regardless of race or ethnicity.
• Write about the impacts of Black History Month and how it can be celebrated by future generations.  

Narrative Writing Prompts for February

Writing prompts are also a great way for older kids to practice their creative writing abilities. With February being a month full of interesting and exciting holidays, there is no shortage of inspiration for story ideas or other creative writing projects. From Valentine’s Day to Inventor’s Day, this month presents plenty of possibilities for kids to write innovative short stories.

• Create a character who lives in the coldest place on Earth and describe what their daily life is like.
• Write a story set in a world where it snows all year round. 
• Conversation hearts
• Social media
• Banana bread
• Write a story set in winter where two friends try to find something positive in their cold and snowy surroundings. What do they discover during their journey and how does it help them appreciate winter despite its drawbacks?
• Create a story about a young inventor whose invention saves their community from impending disaster.

While the above prompts tend to lean on the more creative side and are designed to help kids rev up their imaginations, you’ll probably want to add in one or two more formal writing assignments as well. Draw inspiration from the topics you’ve been covering.

If you did a unit on inventors, have them select an inventor to research and write about. If you put a lot of emphasis on kindness and bullying, steer students in that direction. Here are a few examples.

• How do animals survive the winter months in cold climates? Research different animals who live in snowy places. How do they stay warm and find food during the winter months when temperatures drop below freezing?
• Write a letter as though you are an older adult (60+) recording your best advice for your grandchildren. What would you want to tell them about life? What lessons would you most want to pass down?
• Write a biographical essay about Marie Curie, the first woman to win two Nobel Prizes in science, discussing her accomplishments and how they impacted our lives today.
• Create a story based on Leonardo Da Vinci’s notebook sketches, depicting how his ideas may have been received during his lifetime versus today’s world of technological advancements.
• Write down five interesting facts about winter birds that migrate throughout North America every February and March, such as Canada geese or robins.

These tips will help you get the most out of your writing prompt exercises.

• Set aside time specifically dedicated to writing each day. The more often kids practice writing, the more comfortable they’ll get with it.
• Make sure kids understand that there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to writing prompts. These should be low-pressure writing assignments unless you’re specifically using the prompts for formal assignments.  
• Give kids plenty of space to brainstorm and feel inspired by their ideas before jumping into the writing assignment.
• Don’t force kids to share their informal writing, especially if they’re writing about something personal. If you’re marking for participation only, give them the option to hand it in to you with a sticky note that says Please Don’t Read. This can help students build trust in you and feel safe writing about their inner thoughts and feelings in, for example, their journal entries.

Creative Writing Prompts

When the idea to start a weekly newsletter with writing inspiration first came to us, we decided that we wanted to do more than provide people with topics to write about. We wanted to try and help authors form a regular writing habit and also give them a place to proudly display their work. So we started the weekly Creative Writing Prompts newsletter. Since then, Prompts has grown to a community of more than 450,000 authors, complete with its own literary magazine, Prompted .  

Here's how our contest works: every Friday, we send out a newsletter containing five creative writing prompts. Each week, the story ideas center around a different theme. Authors then have one week — until the following Friday — to submit a short story based on one of our prompts. A winner is picked each week to win $250 and is highlighted on our Reedsy Prompts page.

Interested in participating in our short story contest? Sign up here for more information! Or you can check out our full Terms of Use and our FAQ page .

Why we love creative writing prompts

If you've ever sat in front of a computer or notebook and felt the urge to start creating worlds, characters, and storylines — all the while finding yourself unable to do so — then you've met the author's age-old foe: writer's block. There's nothing more frustrating than finding the time but not the words to be creative. Enter our directory! If you're ready to kick writer's block to the curb and finally get started on your short story or novel, these unique story ideas might just be your ticket.

This list of 1800+ creative writing prompts has been created by the Reedsy team to help you develop a rock-solid writing routine. As all aspiring authors know, this is the #1 challenge — and solution! — for reaching your literary goals. Feel free to filter through different genres, which include...

Dramatic — If you want to make people laugh and cry within the same story, this might be your genre.

Funny — Whether satire or slapstick, this is an opportunity to write with your funny bone.

Romance — One of the most popular commercial genres out there. Check out these story ideas out if you love writing about love.

Fantasy — The beauty of this genre is that the possibilities are as endless as your imagination.

Dystopian – Explore the shadowy side of human nature and contemporary technology in dark speculative fiction.

Mystery — From whodunnits to cozy mysteries, it's time to bring out your inner detective.

Thriller and Suspense — There's nothing like a page-turner that elicits a gasp of surprise at the end.

High School — Encourage teens to let their imaginations run free.

Want to submit your own story ideas to help inspire fellow writers? Send them to us here.

After you find the perfect story idea

Finding inspiration is just one piece of the puzzle. Next, you need to refine your craft skills — and then display them to the world. We've worked hard to create resources that help you do just that! Check them out:

• How to Write a Short Story That Gets Published — a free, ten-day course by Laura Mae Isaacman, a full-time editor who runs a book editing company in Brooklyn.
• Best Literary Magazines of 2023 — a directory of 100+ reputable magazines that accept unsolicited submissions.
• Writing Contests in 2023 — the finest contests of 2021 for fiction and non-fiction authors of short stories, poetry, essays, and more.

Beyond creative writing prompts: how to build a writing routine

While writing prompts are a great tactic to spark your creative sessions, a writer generally needs a couple more tools in their toolbelt when it comes to developing a rock-solid writing routine . To that end, here are a few more additional tips for incorporating your craft into your everyday life.

• NNWT. Or, as book coach Kevin Johns calls it , “Non-Negotiable Writing Time.” This time should be scheduled into your routine, whether that’s once a day or once a week. Treat it as a serious commitment, and don’t schedule anything else during your NNWT unless it’s absolutely necessary.
• Set word count goals. And make them realistic! Don’t start out with lofty goals you’re unlikely to achieve. Give some thought to how many words you think you can write a week, and start there. If you find you’re hitting your weekly or daily goals easily, keep upping the stakes as your craft time becomes more ingrained in your routine.
• Talk to friends and family about the project you’re working on. Doing so means that those close to you are likely to check in about the status of your piece — which in turn keeps you more accountable.

Arm yourself against writer’s block. Writer’s block will inevitably come, no matter how much story ideas initially inspire you. So it’s best to be prepared with tips and tricks you can use to keep yourself on track before the block hits. You can find 20 solid tips here — including how to establish a relationship with your inner critic and apps that can help you defeat procrastination or lack of motivation.

100 Creative Writing Prompts for Middle & High School – 2024

April 15, 2024

Some high school students dream of writing for a living, perhaps pursuing an English major in college, or even attending a creative writing MFA program later on. For other students, creative writing can be useful for school assignments, in English and other subjects, and also for preparing their Common App essays . In a less goal-oriented sense, daily freewriting in a journal can be a healthy life practice for many high schoolers. Not sure where to start? Continue reading for 100 creative writing prompts for middle school and high school students. These middle/high school writing prompts offer inspiration for getting started with writing in a number of genres and styles.

What are Creative Writing Prompts?

Similar to how an academic essay prompt provides a jumping-off point for forming and organizing an argument, creative writing prompts are points of initiation for writing a story, poem, or creative essay. Prompts can be useful for writers of all ages, helping many to get past writer’s block and just start (often one of the most difficult parts of a writing process).

Writing prompts come in a variety of forms. Sometimes they are phrases used to begin sentences. Other times they are questions, more like academic essay prompts Writing prompts can also involve objects such as photographs, or activities such as walking. Below, you will find high school writing prompts that use memories, objects, senses (smell/taste/touch), abstract ideas , and even songs as jumping-off points for creative writing. These prompts can be used to write in a variety of forms, from short stories to creative essays, to poems.

How to use Creative Writing Prompts

Before we get started with the list, are a few tips when using creative writing prompts:

Experiment with different formats : Prose is great, but there’s no need to limit yourself to full sentences, at least at first. A piece of creative writing can begin with a poem, or a dialogue, or even a list. You can always bring it back to prose later if needed.

Interpret the prompt broadly : The point of a creative writing prompt is not to answer it “correctly” or “precisely.” You might begin with the prompt, but then your ideas could take you in a completely different direction. The words in the prompt also don’t need to open your poem or essay, but could appear somewhere in the middle.

Switch up/pile up the prompts : Try using two or three prompts and combine them, or weave between them. Perhaps choose a main prompt, and a different “sub-prompt.” For example, your main prompt might be “write about being in transit from one place to another,” and within that prompt, you might use the prompt to “describe a physical sensation,” and/or one the dialogue prompts.  This could be a fun way to find complexity as you write.

Creative Writing Prompts for Middle School & High School Students (Continued)

Write first, edit later : While you’re first getting started with a prompt, leave the typos and bad grammar. Obsessing over details can take away from your flow of thoughts. You will inevitably make many fixes when you go back through to edit.

Write consistently : It often becomes easier to write when it’s a practice , rather than a once-in-a-while kind of activity. For some, it’s useful to write daily. Others find time to write every few days, or every weekend. Sometimes, a word-count goal can help (100 words a day, 2,000 words a month, etc.). If you set a goal, make sure it’s realistic. Start small and build from there, rather than starting with an unachievable goal and quickly giving up.

100 Creative Writing Prompts for Middle School & High School Teens
