50 writing, speaking and drawing prompts for primary - No prep creative writing
This set of writing, speaking and drawing prompts includes 50 cards to print and cut out as well as 50 individual printable writing and drawing pages. There is also a PDF with only one card per slide if you prefer to project the prompts rather than printing. Each prompt is illustrated with an image. The cards would also be great to use as speaking prompts for small group work, literacy centers or speaking and listening activities.
You can easily use these no prep prompts with many different levels. Use the cards either for speaking or writing, the writing pages as easy printable activities and the drawing pages for differentiated learning or with your younger students.
The writing pages are saved individually and the title of each file is the question itself. The same is true for the drawing pages. This will help you save time and organize the prompts according to level and the classes you want to use them with.
There are so many ways you can use these prompts. Here are a few ideas:
⇨ writing centers

⇨ no prep sub materials
⇨ morning work
⇨ project on white board for a whole class activity
Each prompt is open ended to encourage creative writing. The words WHO - WHAT - WHEN - WHERE - WHY - HOW are written on each prompt to remind students to see if they can think of interesting things to write by asking themselves those questions.

These games work for any level as they are written in French and English. Want a real challenge for your upper levels or immersion students? Use the French only version!
Included with each game:
1 version with vocabulary written in French and English
1 version with vocabulary written in French only
Have students work in small groups of 2-4 or project the game and use it as a whole class activity.
Many of the words may be new to your students as this game is meant not only to practice forming questions, but also to build vocabulary. I like to allow my students to look at the game chart while they play until they’re somewhat familiar with the words. After they’ve played the games a few times looking at the French-English version they feel more prepared to move on to the French only version.
One student in the small group or class chooses a word on the chart. Other students ask up to 20 questions trying to guess the secret word.
The student who has chosen the secret word can answer using the following responses: OUI - NON - PARFOIS - RAREMENT - GÉNÉRALEMENT - PEUT-ÊTRE - CELA DÉPEND - PROBABLEMENT
Alternative game play:
To change up the game and to make it more challenging as well as practicing other skills, have the student who chooses the secret word describe it to others in the group. Instead of asking questions about the secret word, other students listen to the description and guess it.
