Christmas Writing Prompts: Christmas Story Starters By Robin Sellers

I love Christmas writing prompts, don't you? It's the most wonderful time of the year to add a bit of creative writing to the curriculum at Christmas. It's this time of the year when students can write about Santa, reindeer, presents, Christmas trees, elves, and gingerbread men. In fact, they get encouraged to be creative and come up with creative stories with Christmas story starters.

A story starter is a great tool to get students writing using creative ideas. A story starter provides a prompt that creates a scenario that, well, starts the story. Then students have a free license to finish the story any way they wish.

I got a bit crafty with my story starters this year and decided that they would also make perfect pencil toppers or candy cane toppers or even ornaments if you have a tree in your classroom.

I took my story starters, added great graphics, put them on pencils, and added them to a canister that I got from the dollar store. Then I added a string of white lights. It's like my own Christmas light display for students. They can choose their own story starter and even use their new Christmas pencil and write away through the holiday season.
