Creative Writing Activities
Lessons explain the skills. Activities are where those skills start to stick – and where writing becomes fun.
Litbridge includes a growing library of writing games, quick challenges, creative prompts, and printable resources designed for short, enjoyable bursts of practice. They are perfect for warming up, breaking through writer’s block, or keeping momentum going between bigger pieces of writing.
The goal is simple: repeated small wins that build fluency, confidence, and a genuine enjoyment of writing.
Here are just a few of our fun, educational activities.
- Activities turn “knowing” into “doing” with quick, repeatable practice
- Each activity targets a specific story skill and creates a small, clear writing win.
- Some include optional role play, which helps students step into character and make stronger story choices.
- These can be a great shared activity for homeschool families and involved parents – and they’re equally effective when students work on their own.
