8 Christmas Creative Writing Ideas
Here are some Christmas creative writing ideas to keep your children writing over the Christmas holidays. Happy writing!
1. The Talking Snowman: Imagine your snowman came to life on Christmas Eve! What adventures would you have? Where would you go? What funny things would he say? Write a story about your magical night.
2. Father Christmas’ Lost Reindeer: One of Father Christmas’ reindeer has gone missing! Write a detective story about how you and your friends help Father Christmas find his lost reindeer before Christmas morning. What clues would you find?
3. The Christmas Ornament’s Secret: That sparkly ornament on the tree? It has a secret! Write a story about what the ornament sees and hears on Christmas Eve. Maybe it has a magical power!
4. A Christmas Carol… with a Twist!: Take a classic Christmas carol like ‘Jingle Bells’ or ‘Silent Night’ and rewrite the lyrics to tell a silly or exciting new story. For example, ‘Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away…’
5. The Christmas Creature: Imagine a new, funny Christmas creature that helps (or hinders!) Father Christmas. What does it look like? What silly things does it do? Write a description or a short story about your creature.
6. The Gingerbread House Adventure: Your gingerbread house isn’t just for eating! Write a story about what happens when you shrink down and explore the inside of your gingerbread house. What sweet adventures await?
7. A Letter to a Christmas Character: Write a letter to Father Christmas, an elf, or even Jack Frost. Ask them questions, tell them about your year, or even give them some advice!
8. The Day After Christmas: What happens after all the presents are opened? Write a funny story about the day after Christmas. Maybe the toys come to life, or there’s a leftover turkey mishap!
Don’t forget, Bright Light Education offer a marking service, so if you’d like to get your child’s work marked, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
