What's Inside?

Each of the 30 fantasy writing prompts includes a range of creative starting points and structured activities to support writers at different stages of their storytelling journey.

  • Stunning Fantasy Illustrations: Atmospheric images designed to inspire imaginative storytelling, descriptive writing and visual interpretation.

  • Opening Lines: Carefully crafted story starters that help students overcome the challenge of beginning a story.

  • Closing Lines: Evocative final sentences that encourage students to experiment with narrative structure and develop a story towards a meaningful ending.

  • Plot Ideas: Intriguing scenarios and conflicts that provide inspiration while leaving plenty of room for individual creativity.

  • Picture-Based Writing Activities: Guided questions that encourage close observation, sensory description, inference and imaginative thinking.

  • Writing Tips and Discussion Questions: Structured guidance to help students explore narrative possibilities, develop ideas and make deliberate creative choices.

Scaffolding Creative Writing in the Classroom

One of the biggest challenges in teaching creative writing is supporting students who struggle to get started without restricting those who are ready to write independently.

This collection is designed to provide flexible scaffolding that teachers can adapt to different abilities, confidence levels and learning needs.

Students who need additional support can use the supplied opening lines, plot ideas, illustrations and guided questions to develop their stories step by step.

More confident writers can use the same materials as inspiration for independent storytelling, experimenting with alternative perspectives, unexpected plot developments and original interpretations.

The activities can also support:

  • Differentiated instruction: Allow students to choose the level of guidance they need.

  • Visual literacy: Develop observation, interpretation and inference through detailed illustrations.

  • Descriptive writing: Encourage sensory language, atmosphere and imaginative worldbuilding.

  • Narrative development: Explore character motivation, conflict, plot structure and satisfying endings.

  • Speaking and listening: Use discussion questions for paired conversations, group work and whole-class exploration.

  • Writing confidence: Provide accessible starting points for reluctant writers while challenging more experienced storytellers.

Rather than prescribing a single correct story, each prompt encourages students to discover their own creative possibilities.

Flexible Activities for Teachers and Writers

Use these fantasy writing prompts for:

  • Daily creative writing practice and morning starters

  • English and literacy lessons

  • Creative writing clubs and workshops

  • Short story writing and narrative development

  • Classroom discussion and collaborative storytelling

  • Homework, extension tasks and independent learning

  • Homeschooling and personal writing challenges

Each prompt can be used as a standalone activity, expanded into a longer writing project or revisited to explore different storytelling techniques.
