Have your little darlings choose a topic to write about from the bounty of nature and all that summer has to offer. One paragraph, one page, or a short story are all an imagination away.
To begin, gather a notebook or journal and something to write with. If a journal is being used I would choose a pen over a pencil for preservation. If notebook paper is being used a pencil is great if the work is going to be edited and rewritten.
Possible topics:
- My favorite sport
- Why I love summer
- Animals of summer in the water
- Animals of summer on the land
- Bugs of summer
- Cloud formations
- My summer chores
- Family reunion
- Summer camp
Have your writers choose their own topic, if they wish. Encourage creativity, imagination, and fun. Summer writing isn't about grades and hard work - it is about expression and enjoyment.
