Happy 2021 everyone! This year, as a part of my plan to help build your digital teaching resource collection, I'll be uploading a FREE printable & digital creative writing activity every month! 

These creative writing activities will include:

• A writing prompt with a picture
• Story requirement guidelines
• Story Challenge suggestions (optional)

With not long before Christmas, it can be tough to keep coming up with educational activities and resources that will engage your students. This year, your regular classroom activities may also look a little different if you are also teaching virtually! So, if you are in a flurry to look for some activities ready to go when you are in a hurry, I've got a free one in this post for you! It can be printed or completed digitally too!

Download the free writing prompt worksheet below. It is in PowerPoint format to enable assigning as a digital worksheet to type on, or you can choose to print it too. The writing lines are editable, so if you want to type, just delete the lines and type in the same boxed section. ​

Story Writing Guide Suggestions:

• How do you feel after being lost in the snow for days?
• Who do you find living at the cottage?
• Describe any characters introduced.
• How do you plan to return home?

STORY CHALLENGE: Write about an interesting problem that you encounter at the cottage. End your story with a solution to the problem. 

If you'd like to see more writing prompt activities in 2021, please leave a comment below and let me know. :) 

Wishing you a wonderful and safe Christmas! 

Adventure, danger, escape and mystery await with this month's free writing activity! If you are in need of a quick writing activity to assign to your students in the classroom or virtually, download the free worksheet in this post and you have a task ready-to-go!  Turn it into a writing competition or encourage students to share their creations with the class. I've added some writing challenges to help develop some interesting narratives.
