While summer is all about a break from the books, it's also a good idea for kids to practice reading and writing to keep their skills up. Journaling can be a fun way to accomplish some writing practice, but coming up with ideas isn't always easy.
If you are looking for a quick journal prompt for writing practice, we've provided 25 journal prompts for kids here. I always had fun with my kids journaling and reading all their creative answers, and hope you have fun too!
