Storee Wryter, Critique and ADDIE love to watch the Olympic Games on TV. Storee likes the gymnastics best. ADDIE likes to watch the runners compete. Critique hasn't decided on a favorite yet but it probably won't be diving or swimming. She isn't very fond of water.

Write a story about the Olympic Games. Do you have a favorite sport? Maybe you're a big fan of one or more of the athletes.  Storee is waiting to hear from you. Critique and ADDIE are too.

Post your story on the blog for a chance to win your very own GOLD SEAL awarded by the Young Voices Foundation, an educational nonprofit established to mentor young writers. www.youngvoicesfoundation.org

Hey Kids, Let's Play! Writing Prompt of the Week


Critique is a playful cat, and Addie is looking for some fun. Both are hoping that Storee will take them outside for a while.

Addie wants to go swimming. Critique is longing to do some climbing. Storee Wryter likes to do both and she likes to swing. What can they do and where can they go so all three have a great time?

Write a story about fun in the sun. What do you like to do when the weather is right for playing outdoors? Your story can be set during the day or evening.

Here are some ideas to get you started: picnic, visit to the playground, hide-n-seek, catching fireflies (lightning bugs), climbing a big, sturdy tree, jumping rope, going to the pool, a game of water tag, mini Olympics. 

Write and let Critique, Storee and Addie, know how you like to spend a day in the sun.

Until next week - Happy Writing!
