Are you ready to add some spine-chilling twists to your journal entries? How about Halloween journal prompts?
When I was a kid, I used to sit down with my younger sister and write in our journals. And I loved to do that. So, now you know that I was interested in writing even when I was a kid! And did I tell you I have those journals with me still today? Yes, my mom stored all my journals.
Now that I am a mother myself, I really want to introduce journals to my little one once she grows a bit bigger, as she is just a baby now.
Journals are a great way to give your kid’s imagination a boost. And the best time you can introduce it to them is during Halloween. Use Halloween journal prompts. This will give your kid some more reason to get excited in the holiday season.
These prompts are a perfect combination of spooky and silly questions. And there are some good questions that will make your kid think. Just have a look at my prompts list, and you will get an idea of what I’m talking about.
Do you want to store these journals as memories? Then make sure to add the date on top. Or, you can just write the prompt on the top of your journal’s page.
Do you want to make this Halloween more fun for your kids this year? Put the prompts in a bowl and ask your kids to pick up one prompt each day. They will enjoy it a lot. And once your kids have the prompt, let them do whatever they want. They can either jot down a few thoughts or choose to write in detail. If your kid is not that older to write, they can even draw. And when they are busy journaling, you will get some time for yourself too.
Sound good?
