Ok so I forgot to put in the main question I meant to on Friday so I'm putting it in here quick while Dave scrubs the Sunday dishes and the kids are laughing their heads off about something in the family room. Here you go:
I see some people have asked for your job and journal prompt lists {from
this post}
- I would
love those too if you are sharing! We are half way through summer now,
and are ready for a 'reboot' on some of our goals and lists and things.
I just made these up and added some ideas from a writing thing I went to a while ago. It's a good way to get kids to write about things YOU wonder what they think about :) There are also a whole bunch of great questions
here if you want more (our kids have finished all of ours so I think I'll start adding these ones). Here's what we have had in our jar:
my favorite summer memory
the thing I’m most worried about when school
starts
the thing I’m most excited about when school
starts
my favorite trip ever and what made it so
great
my favorite restaurant to go to and why
what makes a good school teacher
List the things on your counter in your
bathroom
what kinds of things could my mother do that
would make me listen to her better?
Describe yourself. Use lots of details.
List all the people who love you.
List all the things you are thankful for
today.
What is your favorite thing your mom makes
for dinner.
What are things you always have in your
backpack?
If you had one wish, what would it be and
why?
What is the worst job you have to do?
What would you buy if you won the lottery?
What did you used to think when you were
little that ended up not being what you thought?
What is your favorite memory?
If you could have any talent, what would it
be?
If you had to live in a different country,
which one would you choose and why?
Where do you hope you live when you’re grown
up? Why?
