A great way to get your kids writing is to make use of your daily newspaper.
Here's How to do it;
- Cut out some headlines and stick them at the top of blank (or lined) sheets of paper. Keep an eye out for really funny headlines that you think the kids will like.
- If your newspaper headlines are boring, mix words from several headlines until you get something unusual!
- For older children you could choose political or current affairs headlines.
- Ask the children to write a story to go with the headline. And don't forget that all good newspapers need pictures too!
Giving your child a prompt like this can really spark their imagination and get them writing creatively.
