Description
If you’re looking for a fun way to get your students writing and thinking creatively, this set of August Writing Prompts celebrating the National Days could be just the thing for your elementary-age classroom or homeschool!
Standard writing prompts & bell ringers can get boring fast. The kids don’t want to do them, teachers don’t want to read them…ugh. These National Days to Celebrate in August writing prompts are a great option because they’re fun, they’re relevant, and they encourage creative writing and critical thinking. Score!
As a homeschool mom, I typically let my kids complete these National Days to Celebrate in August writing prompts as the first task on their daily homeschool schedule. Starting the day off with a fun activity, in which there are really no right or “wrong” answers, gets them excited for their day and gets us started on the right foot. Since this printable set includes prompts for the entire month, the National Days to Celebrate writing prompts are a print and go, “set it and forget it” activity because I print out an entire month’s worth of prompts at a time. This saves me a TON of time!
