Funny Fall Writing Prompts Printables That Get Kids WritingHave you ever asked your kids to write and heard groans in response? I have! That is until I started encouraging my kids to write funny stuff. Suddenly writing was fun!

Humorous writing not only motivates reluctant writers, but aids memory and learning. Kids (and adults) remember funny material better.

You can get the printable prompts here. SUBSCRIBERS>>> You’ll find your copy in the Subscriber Freebies Folder linked at the bottom of your email.

How to Get Your Kids Writing Funny

You know what I mean. 🙂

The first step is to give your kids permission to use humor. Even the blandest writing prompts can be hilarious when young writers feel free to let their funny creative juices flow.

The second step is to give them prompts that are related to what is going on with them. I did my master’s thesis in psychology on humor and learned the obvious: relatable humor is funny! Depressed people will laugh at depression jokes, for example. So give the kids writing prompts about fall in the fall! Can’t come up with anything? No worries! I’ve got you covered. You can either use the writing prompts that follow in your homeschool or classroom verbally or you can use the colorful printables with handwriting lines available to subscribers.

The third step is to be flexible with the form of writing. Allow your students to dictate their writing or type it depending on their level. By the way, I don’t think there’s an age range for these prompts.
