Looking for a fun way to encourage your students’ creative writing attempts this Halloween? Look no further than tour Spin-a-Story Halloween Story Starters! Available as a fun, free printable this is a cool way for children to generate their own scary writing prompts.
Great for students in grades 3-6, the story starters pack includes two Spin-a-Story pages. Each includes an opportunity for students to spin three narrative story elements – a main character, setting and problem. Each of these story elements features six different options and these are unique to each page. That is over 300 possible Halloween creative story writing combinations!
Spin-a-Story Halloween Story Starters
To use, provide each student with a printed copy of one page of the document. Students then use a paper clip and the tip of their pencil to create a DIY spinner. As they spin each story element – character, setting and problem, there is space provided for them to record each element in the corresponding box. Then they are ready to start writing their very own spooky Halloween story.
You can even pair this Halloween writing activity with the blank, Halloween themed decorative writing pages found in our other Halloween Writing Prompts Pack for students to record their stories onto. These will look great displayed in the classroom!
