Creative Writing Prompts and Activities

Are you looking for a fresh, creative writing activity to help engage young writers? Sticky Note Stories offers writers more than simply a prompt to generate ideas for writing. This resource includes questions for writers to think about as they write, writing exercises that will encourage more creative thinking, doodling opportunities, and more! These are the things real writers do! They jot, doodle, list, question, and get creative!

Sticky Note Stories is also a great way for writers to get their ideas out and organize them before writing a story. Sticky notes may be arranged in an order on the Sticky Note Writing Paper that makes most sense for the writer. The writer then takes the ideas from the sticky notes and writes a story that has been thought through in a way that helps build confidence and more creative written responses!
