As the princess stood upon the balcony of the castle crying, a handsome prince walked into the garden below her and heard her sobs.
He looked up and saw the beautiful princess. It was love at first sight.
Right then, he knew that he was going to ask the king for her hand in marriage on Valentine’s Day…..
Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love, and it’s one of the best topics for writing prompts ranging from friendship to family to fairy tales.
How to use the writing prompts:
If the story about the princess was a writing prompt, you would simply finish the rest of the story. Writing prompts get kids to pick up the pencil and start writing creatively.
There are many ways to use writing prompts, from picking a random number to writing about one prompt every day. They are a great way to make writing fun and spark creativity.
