Friday Freewrite: Toy Car Grand Prix
Freewriting is that wonderful key that unlocks the writer within.
Today’s writing prompt:
Your home’s floorplan is now the street circuit for the Toy Car Grand Prix! Describe the race as it starts at the front door, winds throughout the house, and then finishes at the back door or some other ending point. Be sure to mention “landmarks” (for example: making a right turn at the living room sofa).
Share your child’s freewrite in the comments if you’d like! (Or feel free to share your freewrite too!)
New to freewriting?
Freewriting is the vehicle by which we trick our inner selves into expressing the words and ideas that we want to share but are afraid won’t come out right on paper if we do. So, read the freewriting prompt, set the timer for 5-10 minutes then have your child write whatever comes to mind. We invite you to freewrite too, at the same time as your kids. Just keep the pencil moving until “ding”—when the timer rings!
