Looking for some Halloween writing prompts to help get children’s imaginations soaring this October? Why not have them create their own monster?
On our free Halloween writing prompts worksheet there’s space for budding artists to bring their eerie vision to life. Whether it’s a ghostly apparition, a mischievous monster or a bewitching creature, children can let their imaginations run wild as they sketch their spine-chilling character.
This section encourages them to think outside the ordinary. It fosters artistic expression and sets the stage for the spectral storytelling to come.
After crafting their hair-raising illustrations, your young writers need to name their otherworldly creations. This adds an extra layer of creativity as they brainstorm names that capture the essence of their supernatural beings.
From whimsical and enchanting to downright spooky, the naming process allows for a personalised touch. It also sets the stage for the impending descriptive writing exercise.
The final component of the worksheet invites children to weave a descriptive passage that unveils the ghastly features of their Halloween creation. This is where the magic truly happens!
Pupils need to jot down the eerie details, mysterious traits and supernatural quirks of their invented character. This can be anything from the sinister glint in their creature’s eyes to the haunting echoes of its ghostly wail.
