Christmas Writing Prompts

Next week is the last week of school before the holidays for many of the students in the Turks and Caicos Islands. 

Whether you are a teacher looking for creative ways to close of the year, or a parent wanting a fun way to infuse imaginative activities into your holidays, here are some writing prompts to help.

These prompts can be adapted to suit different writing levels and an art element can be added to them as well. 

1. If I Were Santa Claus: Ask students to imagine themselves as Santa Claus for a day. What would their adventures be like? What gifts would they give? How would they travel around the world?
2. The Magical Reindeer: Have students write a story from the perspective of one of Santa's reindeer. What is their daily life like? How do they prepare for the big night? Do they have any special talents?
3. My Favorite Christmas Tradition: Encourage students to describe their favorite holiday tradition. It could be something they do with their family, a special meal, a game they play, or a place they visit.
4. The Day Christmas Went Wrong: Prompt students to write a creative story about a Christmas day that didn't go as planned. What happened? How did they solve the problem or turn it into something positive?
5. Santa's New Invention: Ask students to invent a new tool or gadget that could help Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Describe the invention and explain how it would be useful.
6. Discovering Turks and Caicos: Encourage students to write a story about an exciting adventure set in the beautiful and enchanting Turks and Caicos Islands. Who are the unique creatures they encounter? What intriguing challenges or mysteries unfold amidst our stunning landscapes?
7. The Talking Snowman/ Talking Iguana: Encourage students to write a dialogue between themselves and a talking snowman or a talking iguana. What would they talk about? What questions would they ask each other?
8. The Christmas Wish: Prompt students to write about one special thing they would wish for this Christmas. Why is this wish important to them? What would they do if it came true?
9. Dear Santa Letter: Have students write a letter to Santa Claus, sharing their wishes, accomplishments, and expressing gratitude for the past year. 
10. Christmas Poem: Encourage students to create a Christmas-themed poem. It could be about the sights, sounds, smells, or feelings associated with the holiday season.
