    About this ebook

    The holidays are an exciting time for children in the classroom and the home. The rich history and fun celebrations of holidays make students excited both for parties and learning. The Writing Prompts for Holidays series is a collection of imaginative situations and questions related to 20 major holidays, including Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and more. First Grade Writing Prompts for Holidays is a workbook that will help first grade students to start developing their creative writing skills.

    Examples from the book:

    31. Imagine that you are a piece of candy on Halloween. What kind of candy are you and how would you enjoy the holiday?

    75. What is the best thing that has happened to you in the past year? Why does it stick out as the top moment during an entire 365-day period? What is something that could top that moment in the coming year?

    63. It's Christmas morning, and after hearing a noise, you've tiptoed downstairs to get a closer look. As you peer around the hallway, you come upon a major surprise! What is the surprise and how do you react to it?

      Introduction 

      Welcome to the Writing Prompts for Seasons workbook series! Within these pages you'll find 200 writing prompts, which will stimulate the imagination of your students or children. I've found that the key to allowing students to fully latch onto an idea is to give them a scenario followed by a question. In answering the question, young writers can take the same prompt a million different directions. You can download a printable PDF of the book toward the end of the collection. This gives you the choice of either reading the prompt out loud or letting your students/children read the prompts on a sheet of paper. 

      The Writing Prompts for Seasons series is a collection of books I've created after seeing how many parents and teachers have visited my website, Build Creative Writing Ideas (located at http://www.build-creative-writing-ideas.com). The most popular pages on my site coincide with prompts about the four seasons of spring, summer, fall and winter. I imagine this means two things: teachers and parents are searching for seasonal writing activities, and children enjoy writing about the changing weather and the upcoming holidays. I hope that this series will meet both of those needs while inspiring creativity in the minds of our youth. The five books in the series are available for grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The prompts become more complex with each volume, but continue to remain imaginative and creative throughout. 

      I love hearing about the progress of students on my site and I'm always interested in hearing new ideas for delivering creative writing prompts to writers from the ages of 5 to 105. Feel free to contact me on my website with any questions and comments you
