13 Halloween Creative Writing Prompts! {Free Printable}

Halloween, as I have said many, many times before – is our favourite time of the year. It is such an exciting time of the year, whether you are into the cute and spooky side for the little ones or the horror movie and spooky ghost story side for the older ones. Either way, it can be fun for all ages! And it can be super educational too. For my Blogtober#2 post for my October blogging Challenge, I have created a small collection of Halloween creative writing prompts with a Halloween twist. It is the month of Halloween after all!

Why writing prompts?

Writing prompts spark imagination, characters & ideas. Writing Prompts can draw out the creative soul inside your child and even yourself if you wish to join in as well! I plan to because it is a lot of fun creating your own stories! With creative writing there really is no holds barred. The floor is 100% yours on the characters, where the story goes, creating the set or area where your story lives in and it can be fun!

I think these Halloween writing activity sheets are great because they are in theme with the season. Naturally! And I think it is so important for children to find fun in creating their own worlds through storytelling. It is a skill that needs nurturing and encouragement. As a parent, I have children who have the ability to write a creative story and another who couldn’t think of anything worse to do with their time.
