Download a Free Daily Writing Prompt for Your Students (Plus 31 Bonus Prompts Inside)

May is a funny month in the classroom. You're nearly there, but not quite. Exams are creeping closer, students are getting restless, and you’re running low on fresh ideas (and maybe a bit of energy, too).

If you're looking for something low-prep, high-impact, and genuinely fun - this free daily writing prompt might be exactly what you need.

What You’ll Get

You can download a ready-to-use daily writing prompt right now — perfect for warm-ups, creative writing lessons, or even homework.

Here’s a sneak peek at one of the daily writing prompts included in the free set. Each day offers an image, opening line, closing line, and story idea—so students can build rich stories from layered inspiration.
