Quick Write: Filling a Picnic Basket

What's summer without a picnic outside? This "Quick Write" is just the spot to pull up an imagination and chew on a few ideas.

Writing Topic
Filling a picnic basket.

Writing Tools
For very young writers:
   
          Provide a pencil and lined paper

For growing and older writers:

          Provide a pen and wide- or college-ruled notebook or a laptop/PC

Writing instructions
Have your little (and big) darlings spend time thinking about what they would take on a picnic. What foods would fill the picnic basket? Any games? A blanket for the lawn? It's an imaginary picnic - anything goes! After your young writer(s) finish this piece, go on a real picnic! What better way is there to celebrate summer?

Set your little darlings free and allow them to write from the heart!
