Winter Writing Prompts

Winter has arrived bringing with it cold days and snow for many places. Unlike many adults, children seem to thrive in this season. They don’t seem to mind the cold and there is always hot chocolate, right? Why not take the opportunity to have them capture something of the season in some fun  winter writing activities? We’ve created a free winter writing book to encourage your students to write about winter. Most children have experiences about winter to share. Kids this age just LOVE telling stories from their own experiences. These Winter Writing Prompts for kindergartners, grade 1, and grade 2 students provides the opportunity for them to do that.

Snowman Writing Prompts

The book is designed specifically for children who are just starting to learn how to write. There are lots of writing prompts and helps.

It includes the following pages .

• Title page with plenty of space to create a picture
• An alternative title page with pictures. Print it on some colored paper to add some wow factor!
• An invitation to draw a wintery picture and write about it.
• A page to record their favorite winter activities
• The opportunity to describe what they wear in winter
• Two pages with snowmen activities. First they name their snowman and write a list of things they need to make it. Then they draw a picture of their snowman. These pages can be used even if you do not have snow on the ground.
• Finally there is a space for a short book review, because we love books and reading is such a great winter activity.

This is a very flexible resource. You can use the pages in writing centers or keep them for early finishers. If you don’t want to make books, just use one or two pages for writing exercises. All the pages black and white for those who do not have access to a color copier. they are really easy to prepare. Just print.

I would recommend that you do some brainstorming with the whole group. You can start by sharing some fabulous winter books. Check out our list of great winter reads.

Then invite the students to talk about winter. Ask questions like

• What do you know about winter?
• What is your favorite thing to do in the winter?

Continue the discussion by brainstorming a list of winter words. You might ask

• What words can you use to describe winter?
• What do you wear when you go outside in winter?

Write the words on a large chart or whiteboard. It might be helpful to sort them into categories. Leave the words up for the children to use when they are writing. These are such a cute and helpful free printable for both preschool / prek and kindergarten age kids!
