Magic Pen Story Starters Part IV


It's time for more Magic Pen Story Starters! I hope these prompts inspire you to put pen (or pencil) to paper or tap words onto your screen. 

Remember, there are no rules. Find a Magic Pen Story Starter that grabs you, and write away! 

1) Write a story about:


  • a couch that breaks out of the furniture store


  • a lost dog that moves into your classroom


  • a brother and sister who find magical leaves in their backyard


2) Write these folktales:


  • "Cinderella Goes to Broadway"


  • "Hansel and Gretel: The Prequel"


  • "Little Red Riding Hood Opens a Wolf Shelter


3) Write a story with this first line:


  • The ice broke under my feet, plunging me into the cold water.


  • The penguin waddled over the snow and searched for her mother.


  • I went to the store and bought a shovel, a map, and a banana.


  • "Stop!" he yelled, but the thief sprouted wings and flew away.


4) More writing ideas:


  • Write a story about a family that takes a vacation in their backyard.


  • Write a story or poem about the new crayon in the crayon box. 


  • Write a story with the title, "Me Big Caveman."


  • Close your eyes and think about five things you can find in your backpack. Then write a story about a space alien who steals your backpack and eats those five things.


Use your imagination and let your magic pen soar!
