Halloween Quick Writes | Spooky Visual Writing Prompts | Years 2–6
10 cinematic Halloween prompts, from a tiny door hidden inside a pumpkin to a ghost waiting for a mysterious bus. Each prompt comes with three vocabulary words and a sentence starter, so students can get straight into a short burst of spooky, playful writing.
