35 Spring Writing Prompts and Story Starters

March 17, 2020 by Evan-Moor | 0 comments

Freshen up your writing activities with some fun spring writing prompts, such as story starters, letters to Mother Nature, and free writing prompts. This time of year makes everyone antsy as summer gets closer, but there’s still plenty of school left, and plenty of time to include writing in your lesson plans!

Spring Writing Prompts

• Write a persuasive letter to your teacher about having class outside more.
• Plan a springtime picnic. Plan out the place, time, food, and games! Make a list of what you’ll need.
• Imagine you find a large Easter egg at the park. Where did it come from? Who does it belong to? What’s inside of it?
• Pretend you are one of the Easter Bunny’s helpers. What do you have to do to prepare for Easter? Do you deliver eggs?
• Invent a new ice cream flavor.
• Write about April showers. What do you like about the rain? What don’t you like?
• It’s the Great Egg Hunt—kids from all different schools gather for this event once a year. The countdown starts: 3…2…1…GO!

It’s important to keep students writing; even short writing activities each day can greatly improve their writing fluency!

Frequently Asked Questions

Springtime sayings for your writing.

As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, it’s the perfect time to freshen up your writing! Spring is a time of new beginnings, so what better way to start the season than by incorporating some fun, spring-themed sayings into your work? Here are two of our favorites:

” April showers bring May flowers.” This age-old saying is a great way to describe the hope and possibility that comes with the start of spring. This saying reminds us that brighter days are on the horizon when things look dreary.

“In like a lion, out like a lamb.” This saying is often used to describe weather patterns in March, but we think it can also be applied to writing. If you’re struggling to find your voice or feeling blocked creatively, take heart! The “lion” phase won’t last forever; soon enough, you’ll be churning pages like there’s no tomorrow.

What Mood Does Spring Represent?

In literature, spring is often a time of rebirth, hope, and new beginnings. After a long winter, spring brings with it the promise of warmer days and longer nights. For many people, spring is a time to start fresh and put past year’s events behind them. In this way, spring represents a mood of hope and renewal.

However, not all writers see spring in such positive terms. For some, spring can be a reminder of loss or unfulfilled potential. The end of winter can represent the end of youth and the beginning of old age. Spring can also be a time of change and instability, as the world around us seems to be in flux. In these instances, spring can represent a more negative mood, such as regret or disappointment.

No matter what mood you want to evoke in your writing, there is a way to use spring as a symbol to reflect that emotion. By understanding how authors have used spring in their work, you can find the perfect way to incorporate this season into your writing.

The Promise of Spring For many people, spring is synonymous with new beginnings. This is especially true after a long winter when the weather has been cold and dark for months. In literature, spring is often a time of rebirth and hope. After winter’s bleakness, spring brings the promise of warmer days and longer nights. This symbolism can be seen in works like Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. In both novels, characters can start fresh and put the past year’s events behind them. In this way, spring represents a mood of hope and renewal.

The Changeable Nature of Spring While spring is often associated with new beginnings, it can also be a time of change and instability. This is because spring is when the weather changes from cool and comfortable to hot and humid in many parts of the world. This transition period can be difficult for people to adjust to physically and emotionally. For example, in Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, the arrival of spring signals a time of unrest and upheaval for the townspeople of Macondo. The changes the season brings are so great that they eventually lead to the town’s downfall. In this novel, spring represents a more negative mood, such as regret or disappointment.

No matter what mood you want to evoke in your writing, there is a way to use spring as a symbol to reflect that emotion. By understanding how authors have used spring in their work, you can find the perfect way to incorporate this season into your writing and create a piece that resonates with readers long after they’ve finished reading it.

What Is the Metaphor of Spring?

Spring is a time of rebirth when the natural world comes back to life after a long winter. This time of year is often used as a metaphor for new beginnings. Here are some examples of how writers have used the metaphor of spring in their work.

In “The Waste Land” by T. S. Eliot, the speaker longs for spring to come and wash away the ashes of his dead relationship. He describes spring as a time when “the human engine waits / Like a taxi throbbing waiting.” The image of a car idling on the street conveys a sense of hope and a sense of impatience. The speaker hopes spring will bring him new love, but he’s also impatient for it to arrive.

In “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” by Betty Smith, the arrival of spring is a sign of hope for the protagonist, Francie Nolan. Francie is a poor girl growing up in Brooklyn in the early 20th century. She and her family live in a tenement, and money is tight. But every year, when spring comes, Francie feels hopeful that her life will improve. She looks forward to seeing the trees blooming and the flowers growing in the sidewalk cracks. For Francie, spring is a time of possibility.

What Things Are Associated With Spring?

In the northern hemisphere, spring officially begins on March 20th and lasts until June 21st. Here are 10 things that are typically associated with springtime.

1. Warmer weather: One of the most anticipated things about spring is that the weather starts to warm up after a long winter. People can finally start spending more time outdoors and enjoying the fresh air.

2. Longer days: Another perk of spring is that the days start to get longer. This is because the Earth’s tilt starts to point more towards the sun, which gives us more daylight hours.

3. Flowers blooming: One of the most beautiful things about spring is that flowers start to bloom everywhere. This is thanks to warmer temperatures and increased sunlight.

4. Trees getting greener: Along with flowers blooming, trees also start to get greener as they come out of their winter dormancy.

5. Baby animals being born: Spring is also a time when many baby animals are born. This is because the warmer weather makes it easier for them to survive and thrive.

6. People getting outside more: One of the best things about spring is that people can finally start spending more time outdoors without freezing their fingers off!

7. Allergies acting up: Unfortunately, not everyone enjoys springtime due to allergies. This is because pollen from all the flowers and trees can trigger allergies in some people.

8. Rainy days: Although rain is technically possible during any season, it seems like there are more rainy days during spring than at any other time of year.

9. Cleaning everything out: Just like nature does its version of spring cleaning, many people take this opportunity to do some cleaning of their own homes and gardens.

10. Feeling refreshed: After being cooped up indoors all winter, many people feel refreshed and recharged once spring arrives. They’re ready to take on whatever the world throws at them!

How Would You Describe Spring Weather in Writing?

One of the best things about writing about spring weather is that there are so many possibilities. You could write about the physical changes that spring brings, like the melting of snow and the return of birds and other animals. You could also write about how the warmer weather affects your mood, making you feel happier and more energized. Or, you could focus on all the new life and growth that spring brings, from flowers blooming to trees leafing out. No matter what angle you choose, there are endless possibilities for writing about spring weather creatively and engagingly.

Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Use descriptive language to paint a picture for your readers. 2. Use sensory details to help your readers feel like they’re experiencing spring along with you. 3. Share your personal experiences with the spring weather, whether they’re happy or not so happy. 4. Be creative in your approach—it’s okay to have fun with it! 5. Finally, don’t forget to edit your work before publishing it or sharing it with others. A little polishing can go a long way in making your writing shine.

If the Spring Season Was a Person, What Kind of Person Would They Be?

The answer may depend on where you live. In the southern hemisphere, spring is a time of warmth and sunshine as the Christmas holidays approach. In the northern hemisphere, spring is a time of rain and renewed growth after a cold and dark winter. But no matter where you are in the world, spring is always a time of hope and possibilities.

If spring were a person, it would be someone full of life and vitality. They would be optimistic and always look on the bright side. They would be someone who loves to laugh and have fun but also knows how to take things seriously when they need to. They would be somebody who is always growing and changing but also knows how to appreciate the simple things in life.

Like a ⁣trail of stepping stones leading across a​ stream, metaphors guide ⁤us⁢ towards understanding, stimulating​ our ‌imagination and ⁢enriching our storytelling capabilities.

• The⁣ language of nature: Spring’s return evokes metaphors ⁣that draw ⁣upon the⁤ natural world,​ such ​as the blossoming of flowers to represent personal growth and⁣ the ⁣shedding of old⁤ layers like trees ⁣shedding their ⁣leaves.
• Renewal and transformation: Spring metaphors can symbolize the process of renewal and⁣ personal‍ transformation,‍ like a caterpillar entering the ‌chrysalis and emerging as a butterfly or the melting of winter’s ice as a ⁣metaphor ⁣for ​releasing​ past ⁣burdens.
• Symbolism of rebirth: ‍Spring’s arrival connects to ‌metaphors of⁣ rebirth, ⁤birth, and new beginnings,⁢ akin ‍to a seed⁤ breaking ⁣through‍ the soil to⁣ reach for the ⁤sunlight,⁤ embodying⁣ hope and resilience.

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 .

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.

Moscow and Beyond

5 Ways to Celebrate Spring in Moscow, Russia

Spring, it turns out, is a big deal in Russia.

I dunno. I quite enjoyed the snow. But perhaps when you have endured many more winters than one rather mild one, you do get quite excited when the earth finally heats up enough to sustain actual grass, leaves and tulips.

So perhaps it is not surprising that when this happens, which is the beginning of May in Moscow, Russians decide to celebrate All The Things! At Once! With Decorations! And Days Off! And (in Mama and Papa’s case) digging at my school for the ‘subbotnik’, when Russians get out there and tidy up their public spaces after the snow melts and everybody realises how much rubbish and how little grass is left behind.

Lenin kicked off this spring tradition by carrying a log across the Kremlin once. Papa says the log has increased in size over the years as more and more people claim to have been involved. Cool, huh? That Lenin had some tricks, huh?

It probably helped that that this year Orthodox Easter fell on May 1 st too, which is already a public holiday. So Moscow was covered in painted eggs, chicks and other traditional Easter accessories, such as famous model churches from around the world.

Yes, I know you in the Catholic/Protestant block celebrated more than a month before that, but given that I get two Christmases and two New Years out of a weird calendar quirk, the only surprise is that I don’t get two birthdays as well.

Props to the person who decided to place the recreation of Jerusalem in sand, plastercast figures and a real donkey opposite the statue of Karl Marx though. Because the public holiday on May 1 st is not officially about spring but actually for the seriously Communist one of Labour Day, just like it is in what I imagine must be that other bastion of Socialist values, the USA. Albeit on a different date.

Mama particularly enjoyed sitting next to the Bolshoi Theatre in the shadow of faux middle eastern palm trees listening to some old guard pensioners sing Soviet songs while drinking vodka and talking earnestly about politics.

Even Lenin in his mausoleum got dressed up for the occasion.

But for the non-partisan amongst us there were just lots and lots of artificial flowers, old shoes and springtime wildlife.

And arts, crafts and music.

And also, the three bogatyrs, the three legendary heroes, who battle dragons, rescue princesses and overcome other obstacles.

Not quite sure what they have to do with spring, but I Do! Not! Care! Because as well as displays of fighting, they offered a challenge to all comers and my Enthusiastic Big Brother and I got to whack away at large mail covered men with lightly padded giant sticks!

The ancient warriors might have been softening us up for the 9 th of May.

It’s quite a big kuffuffle is Victory Day in Russia, although to be fair if you can’t celebrate the end of a war that left millions dead what can you celebrate?

There is a parade of such extravagance that it requires weeks of practice and many road closures. If you are Mama, you will stroll by all unsuspecting and be confronted with soldiers standing in little knots planning out their tank positions on one day and with the tanks themselves just a few days later. Goodness only knows what she missed the rest of the time.

We did not actually watch the parade itself, mind you. We went to Gorky Park instead. This is because, traditionally, this is where veterans of the Great Patriotic War meet up in their former units and celebrate, generally just by commandeering some plastic chairs and a table and taking over some pathways for their picnics. While they do this, passers by, especially children, give them flowers. It’s nice.

But not quite as much fun as climbing on the tanks down by the river.

We were so exhausted when we got home that we went to bed early. This was a mistake as at 11pm, the whole of Moscow erupted with firework displays and shouts of ‘oorah!’ from the impromptu street parties outside.

Russians make pretty good neighbours, Mama finds, but when they do cut loose, they do it in style. On which note, I give you, the tank car.

Thankyewverymuch and goodnight.

Not that any of this comes close to the strangest traditions and festivals around the rest of the world…. Probably.

If you want to know more about what to do in Moscow all year round, here is THE guide to Moscow , as written by Mama.

More Information

This link will take you to whatever festival Moscow is currently celebrating. At the moment it is fish.

This is what the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has to say about how May Day became a workers’ holiday.

Labour Day is May 1st, which is a public holiday. It will be the holiday regardless of which day of the week it falls. If it is a weekend, a weekday will usually be given off in lieu. If it is in the middle of the week, Russians often find themselves working weekends, so they can get a block of days off instead.

Orthodox Easter is not a public holiday and shifts around just like the other Easter does. But because the Orthodox church uses the Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian one it may (or may not) fall on the same day as the Catholic/ Protestant one. Fun, huh?

Victory Day is 9th May and is a public holiday. See above for the complicated dance this may involve. But basically, you can guarantee that from the 1st to the 9th May in Moscow, there will be lots going on.

Pin for later?

What a fascinating review. I never knew Spring meant so much to the Russians, but as you say, if you’ve had oodles of of snow for multiple months then its departure probably is worth celebrating big style! Those painted eggs look huge and with such amazing detail. We in the UK like to celebrate the odd war ending or two, as well! Great review and it’s really peaked my interested in the city! #CityTripping

Muscovites really make the most of the good weather in spring and summer, and this is greatly facilitated by the way the city has been pedestrianised in the last few years.

I loved this. It’s so interesting reading about the celebrations in different cultures. Spring should be celebrated in style and your photos certainly make it look like a celebration. I love the combination of tanks and flowers and I want to copy the idea of planting primroses in high-heeled shoes! Thanks for linking it up to #citytripping.

They had the flowers in all sorts of footwear actually, lining the some of the boulevards. I rather enjoyed it too!

Love the colours and the enthusiasm – I strongly suspect that if I had been up to my knees in snow for months, I would be celebrating my heart out as well. Co-ordinating three celebrations/festivals at the same time is quite a neat trick too. #citytripping

Moscow’s always done circuses extravagantly. The street decorations are new though. I like ’em.

Wow! Beautiful images! And it looks like there was so much to do on May 1st/Easter. I’d work during the weekend to go to those celebrations too! Thanks for telling me a little bit more about Russia that I didn’t know. Now, I really want to go. 🙂

Perhaps you should incorporate a half-birthday celebration in your year? Y’know … since you celebrate two of every other holiday. 😉

The half birthday would solve a bit of the ‘how long is it to my birthday’? pestering that starts about a week after the last one finished…

Cool photos! An eclectic bunch!

Eclectic holidays!

I love the exuberance of these celebrations of spring. I imagine after such a long hard wintr as they get in Moscow, the people need to break out a bit!

I love how much fun these parades look like.And those giant eggs! WOW

The eggs reappeared this year, but Easter spoiled it a bit by being early, so they’ve gone again now.

I love the picture of the young man playing the stringed instrument in the street!

He’s a regular actually! And the music somewhat… unexpected.

I loved Moscow when I visited, but it was at the end of November. Now, next time I’m heading there in Spring. I love all your photos. It looks so pretty and fun.

Moscow has some great weather in late spring and early summer. We are still waiting for the good weather this year though…

I love Spring but Muscovites take it to the next level. I specially loved the giant painted eggs. Thank you for sharing. I personally didn’t know that this celebrations took place.

The eggs have come and gone this year as Easter was earlier, but we are in full swing for the rest. It helps that the weakter is really cooperating this weekend!
