Hi Natasha!! I love, love, love your journaling prompts and monthly doodle challenges! I’m just wondering where Aug-Dec journaling prompts are?? Thanks!! 🙂

Thanks, Kimberly, I’m glad you like them! 🙂 Doodle challenges are from the last year, so the entire year is already available on the site. Journaling prompts are this year’s “project” and they’re coming out on a monthly basis, but the last 30 days or so were crazy to me, so I’m a bit (cough, cough…) late. I hope I’ll manage to publish August journaling prompts over the next few days. A big apology because this month’s set of prompts was not on time, both to you and other readers, I hope there are no hard feelings… I wish you all the best and have fun journaling!

SUMMER WRITING TIPS

Here are a few tips to make writing more exciting this month:

Let your kids write with a pen. Our favorites are  erasable gel pens ! They don’t smudge and smear like the erasable pens from my middle school years. Emma likes to change colors as she writes each new paragraph, and I like that there are no scribbled out mistakes.

Print out all of the prompts at the beginning of the month, and assemble them into a writing notebook. Let your child choose a writing prompts each day. This gives them more control over their assignment and encourages them to write about what sparks their interest each day.

Don’t edit and/or proofread each writing assignment. Just let them write. At the end of the week (or end of the month), have them pick a piece to edit and publish. You can go through the whole editing, revising, rewriting process at this time. This eliminates the stress that comes with producing a perfect piece each time.

July Writing Journal Prompts for Kids

By Shaunna Evans Leave a Comment · This content may contain affiliate links.

It’s the end! We’ve been journaling through the entire school year and into the summer with engaging and fun writing journal prompts for kids. If you’re teaching a summer program or just looking for a fun way to keep kids writing through the summer, you’re going to love this set of July writing journal prompts.  For July we’re exploring prompts about the America, watermelon, camping, bubbles, and more.

If you’re just discovering our writing prompt series, you can find all of the previous monthly writing journals sets and some tips for using journal prompts with preschoolers, kindergarteners, and first graders over on our  writing journal prompts resource page.

What others are saying about our journal prompts

Although we definitely love our journal prompts, it’s always helpful to hear from other parents and teachers, too. Here’s some of the feedback we’ve gotten about our prompt series:

“We use these journals almost everyday! The topics are so fun and provide such different types of writing!” “I LOVE these journals and so do my pre-K students. They love journal time” “Amazing product!! I always struggle with writing prompts- great ideas!!”

Get your own set of July Writing Journal Prompts here . 

WHAT’S INCLUDED

The July Journal Set is 69-pages of information and writing prompts with various formats to meet the needs of your students.

There is a quick overview of Writer’s  Workshop to help you get started.

There are four Journal Cover Page Options to choose from. Three have images for children to color and one has a blank space so kids can design their own cover illustration.

July Writing Journal Prompts for Preschool and Kindergarten

All of our journal prompt sets come in three formats.

For early writers who are still drawing and labeling pictures or experimenting with writing their first sentences, we recommend the unlined version. This way pre-writers can focus on drawing detailed pictures to share their ideas while also experimenting with beginning attempts at labeling.

Camping Theme Journal Prompts for Kids

Once students are able to write a simple sentence we recommend transitioning to the lined version, but some kids are also happy to continue using the unlined version.

Having both options in one set allows you to differentiate within your classroom for each child’s specific needs. Some kids can get the unlined version while others get the lined version of the same prompt. Each child is covering the same topic but at an appropriate level for their abilities.

Fourth of July Writing Prompts for Kids

For advanced writers we’ve also included an extended page with lines. That way kids can keep writing beyond the main prompt page when they are ready to do so.

We’ve included a wide variety of writing prompts so that children get exposure to different types of writing. There are age-appropriate prompts that give students a chance to explore expository, persuasive, narrative, and descriptive writing. We’ve also included some tables and lists for children to get experience responding in various formats.

Use these free printable writing checklists to help students review their writing and focus on key developmental writing skills.

Writing Checklist Freebie-Writers Checklist for PreK Kindergarten and First Grade

THEMES INCLUDED IN THE JULY JOURNAL PROMPTS SET

  • 5 America/Fourth of July Theme Prompts
  • 5 Watermelon Theme Prompts
  • 5 Camping Theme Prompts
  • 5 Bubbles Theme Prompts
  • 5 General Prompts

WHAT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE JOURNALS TO USE?

No worries! If you already have pre-made journals or journal paper to use , then you can print out the mini prompts we’ve included. Shrink them to the size you need, print, and have kids glue them directly into your existing journals.

Then parents and students will know the topic as they read over journals at a later date.

Creative Writing Prompts

When the idea to start a weekly newsletter with writing inspiration first came to us, we decided that we wanted to do more than provide people with topics to write about. We wanted to try and help authors form a regular writing habit and also give them a place to proudly display their work. So we started the weekly Creative Writing Prompts newsletter. Since then, Prompts has grown to a community of more than 450,000 authors, complete with its own literary magazine, Prompted .  

Here's how our contest works: every Friday, we send out a newsletter containing five creative writing prompts. Each week, the story ideas center around a different theme. Authors then have one week — until the following Friday — to submit a short story based on one of our prompts. A winner is picked each week to win $250 and is highlighted on our Reedsy Prompts page.

Interested in participating in our short story contest? Sign up here for more information! Or you can check out our full Terms of Use and our FAQ page .

Why we love creative writing prompts

If you've ever sat in front of a computer or notebook and felt the urge to start creating worlds, characters, and storylines — all the while finding yourself unable to do so — then you've met the author's age-old foe: writer's block. There's nothing more frustrating than finding the time but not the words to be creative. Enter our directory! If you're ready to kick writer's block to the curb and finally get started on your short story or novel, these unique story ideas might just be your ticket.

This list of 1800+ creative writing prompts has been created by the Reedsy team to help you develop a rock-solid writing routine. As all aspiring authors know, this is the #1 challenge — and solution! — for reaching your literary goals. Feel free to filter through different genres, which include...

Dramatic — If you want to make people laugh and cry within the same story, this might be your genre.

Funny — Whether satire or slapstick, this is an opportunity to write with your funny bone.

Romance — One of the most popular commercial genres out there. Check out these story ideas out if you love writing about love.

Fantasy — The beauty of this genre is that the possibilities are as endless as your imagination.

Dystopian – Explore the shadowy side of human nature and contemporary technology in dark speculative fiction.

Mystery — From whodunnits to cozy mysteries, it's time to bring out your inner detective.

Thriller and Suspense — There's nothing like a page-turner that elicits a gasp of surprise at the end.

High School — Encourage teens to let their imaginations run free.

Want to submit your own story ideas to help inspire fellow writers? Send them to us here.

After you find the perfect story idea

Finding inspiration is just one piece of the puzzle. Next, you need to refine your craft skills — and then display them to the world. We've worked hard to create resources that help you do just that! Check them out:

  • How to Write a Short Story That Gets Published — a free, ten-day course by Laura Mae Isaacman, a full-time editor who runs a book editing company in Brooklyn.
  • Best Literary Magazines of 2023 — a directory of 100+ reputable magazines that accept unsolicited submissions.
  • Writing Contests in 2023 — the finest contests of 2021 for fiction and non-fiction authors of short stories, poetry, essays, and more.

Beyond creative writing prompts: how to build a writing routine

While writing prompts are a great tactic to spark your creative sessions, a writer generally needs a couple more tools in their toolbelt when it comes to developing a rock-solid writing routine . To that end, here are a few more additional tips for incorporating your craft into your everyday life.

  • NNWT. Or, as book coach Kevin Johns calls it , “Non-Negotiable Writing Time.” This time should be scheduled into your routine, whether that’s once a day or once a week. Treat it as a serious commitment, and don’t schedule anything else during your NNWT unless it’s absolutely necessary.
  • Set word count goals. And make them realistic! Don’t start out with lofty goals you’re unlikely to achieve. Give some thought to how many words you think you can write a week, and start there. If you find you’re hitting your weekly or daily goals easily, keep upping the stakes as your craft time becomes more ingrained in your routine.
  • Talk to friends and family about the project you’re working on. Doing so means that those close to you are likely to check in about the status of your piece — which in turn keeps you more accountable.

Arm yourself against writer’s block. Writer’s block will inevitably come, no matter how much story ideas initially inspire you. So it’s best to be prepared with tips and tricks you can use to keep yourself on track before the block hits. You can find 20 solid tips here — including how to establish a relationship with your inner critic and apps that can help you defeat procrastination or lack of motivation.

31 Writing Prompts For July 2023

Writers Write shares writing prompts and writing resources. Use these writing prompts for July 2023 to get you writing.

Here we go again. A new month means another 31 days, another 31 prompts and another 31 opportunities to write great stories. We’re still talking about Atomic Habits by James Clear and we’re applying it to creative writing.

This month I want to talk about making bad habits unattractive.

It seems so simple, but often we underestimate the power of the small changes. Just like you need to make it easy for yourself to do your writing you should make it hard for yourself to get distracted.

My biggest distractions are my phone and the internet. I pick up my phone for no reason and I google stuff and get sucked in by the black hole that is the internet. How can I combat this?

I set the intention to write and decide on a time frame. For the duration of the writing session, I put my phone in flight mode, and I put it in the other room.

The internet

The same goes for internet. I unplug my modem for the duration of the writing session. By unplug I mean I literally unplug it and put in a cupboard.

It seems ridiculous that I have to go to these lengths but that is how much of a problem my distractions are.

Another step:

Pay attention to when you stop writing. What are you feeling when you get distracted? Most of the time we experience some kind of frustration or discomfort. It could be because we need to make a decision in our story, or we need to find new ideas or we are confronting some big emotions. When it gets hard, we seek the path of least resistance. Remove the alternative option and keep yourself focussed on the task at hand.

Figure out what you turn to when you experience discomfort and put it out of reach.

Top 15 4th of July Writing Prompts for Kids

Let’s be honest here. Learning never stops for homeschooling families! As homeschooling parents, we’re always looking for meaningful, memorable, and fun ways to incorporate learning experiences into our everyday lives. Summer is no different!

In my home, a typical day starts with my kids completing a writing prompt or two . I like to start our days with a writing prompt because the prompts are usually completed pretty quickly (usually done in about 5 minutes!) and because writing prompts are a fun way to get my kids thinking and writing creatively!

Since so many states require parents to keep records of activities completed while homeschooling, you’ll definitely want to keep completed writing prompts organized. Not only can they be used to verify educational progress, but they could also be a cute keepsake for the future.

Like so many others, I have a bin with various keepsakes from my childhood, like journals , small toys, and concert tickets. It’s always been fun for me to read writing samples from the past and see how my handwriting has changed.

Keeping Writing Prompts Organized

To keep these writing prompts about the 4th of July organized, you might want to do one of the following:

  • Designate a spiral notebook to be used solely for writing prompts
  • Copy & paste the writing prompts into a Word document (1 prompt per page), then print & staple a packet together
  • Start a writing prompts folder on your computer or online drive to allow your child to complete the writing prompt by typing rather than printing

Even better? Printing these 4th of July writing prompts would be a great way to fit in some creative writing during summer homeschool travel ! Just bring along the prompts, and some writing utensils, and the kids will be all set in the back seat of the vehicle.

Multi-Use Writing Prompts

These writing prompts about the 4th of July can certainly be used as extension activities for other American-themed lessons! Consider including them in lessons about the Revolutionary War, while learning about Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or even while learning about Veterans or Memorial Day!

They’d even be great alongside lessons on the United States government or while learning about the different military branches of the USA.

These 15 writing prompts about the 4th of July are merely a starting point for your homeschool lessons about the United States of America! Feel free to extend the writing prompt themes by watching related movies or documentaries, listening to patriotic music, or even learning about early American works of art!

Let’s Get Writing!

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for! These 15 writing prompts about the 4th of July are sure to be a great part of your homeschool lessons:

  • When we celebrate the 4th of July, we are celebrating our country’s independence from Great Britain. What does independence mean to you?
  • Imagine you are sitting in an open field watching a 4th of July fireworks show with your family. Use your senses to describe the experience.
  • Many people celebrate the 4th of July with a backyard barbeque. Imagine you have been tasked with planning the barbeque menu! Which foods would you include in your 4th of July celebration? Which foods would you avoid? Why?
  • Why do you think the American flag is such an important symbol of the USA?
  • What does it mean to be patriotic?
  • Imagine a friend from overseas will be joining in on your family’s 4th of July celebration. How would you prepare them for this special day? Should they wear any special clothes? What can they expect to experience on the 4th of July?
  • Write a poem about living in the United States of America.
  • The local ice cream shop has asked you to create a new treat to be sold on the 4th of July. Describe your USA-inspired frozen treat!
  • Would you like to be one of the leaders of the United States one day? Why or why not?
  • Complete the sentence and elaborate: Being an American feels like…
  • Our national anthem was written by Francis Scott Key after he watched a battle, in Maryland, in 1812. How do you think he felt during the battle? Why do you think he chose to write about it afterward?
  • How do you feel when you hear our national anthem being performed?
  • Why do you think fireworks are included in the 4th of July celebrations? Do you enjoy watching fireworks? Why or why not?
  • How do you think the colonists felt after they finally got freedom from Great Britain? Why?
  • If you could change one thing about celebrating the 4th of July, what would it be? Why?

How do you plan on incorporating these writing prompts into your homeschool lessons ? We’d love to know!

December is one of my favorite times of year to change things up and have fun veering off our normal homeschool path. That’s why we include Christmas activities in our homeschool plans whenever possible. This holiday season we’ve stayed busy with mixed media Christmas art and Christmas Around the World. Now that those projects are winding down, we can add some other things to our December homeschool mix.
