200 Creative Picture Writing Prompts: for Elementary or Middle School Kids Ages 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12

Creative picture writing prompts are images that are a great catalyst for writing!

We know your child will love these 200 creative writing prompts. Use them to inspire the child to write a short story, create a poem, write a few captions, practice punctuation, work on figurative language or grammar, or focus on any other aspect of writing. Even kids who don’t like writing will find images that spark a story!

This workbook can be used in a variety of ways. Use one image a day as a writing warm up. Or take breaks from longer writing projects by completing a few picture writing prompts.

You choose whether you start at the first image and go forward or pick and choose the one that inspires you in that moment. There are no right or wrong ways to use this writing workbook.

Images are in color to allow the child’s imagination to describe the image in more detail.

Need more space? Grab a notebook and keep the writing going!
