The best spring writing prompts

Blossom is on the trees, a cool breeze is in the air, and the days are getting sunny; Spring has officially sprung. As with all the seasons, creative inspiration abounds at this turning point from winter into the warmer months. After all, springtime is a period both of natural beauty, and of new beginnings, as flowers burst into life in the garden, and spring cleaning leaves us feeling renewed, hopeful, and maybe a little exhaused. If all this is getting you excited, we've got some ideas to share with you.

Here are our top ten spring writing prompts:

• "SPRING BREAK!" you say to your friend. "This year, we have to — " (Finish the sentence, and then write the story.)
• Wait, you think to yourself. Something's wrong. It's April, and the leaves haven't grown back on the trees yet.

• How to Master the 'Show, Don't Tell' Rule (free course) — Spring is a season of the senses — the buzz of bees, the sickly sweet scent of pollen, the hum of lawnmowers, the smell of fresh-cut grass, the rumble of lightning, and the tickle of a cool breeze against bare arms. And that means you're going to want to get your descriptions spot on. To brush up your skills, try out our free course.

25 Spring Writing Prompts for Middle Schoolers

Share with your friends!

Spring has sprung!

Help your middle school students blossom into enthusiastic writers with these 25 spring writing prompts.

This article contains affiliate links to things that you might like.

25 Spring Writing Prompts for Middle School Writers

Not every student loves creative writing, and that’s okay.

Luckily, there are several types of writing to choose from.

Check out this list of 25 spring writing prompts from the categories of narrative, poetry, expository, persuasive, and descriptive writing.

Spring Narrative Writing Prompts for Middle School

Narrative writing involves a story, dialogue, and the retelling of an event from a character’s point of view.

Smuggling a Chick

Imagine you find a baby chick outside in the pouring rain.

You decide to bring it to school without your parent or teacher knowing.

How do you hide it? What crazy things happen as a result?

Candy for a Week

You bet a friend that you’ll only eat candy for a week, and your parents agree to let you try it.

What happens? What do you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? How do you feel? 

Survival School

You abandon the traditional school subjects and spend a month outside in the spring learning survival skills. What happens?

Rainbow Realm

One day you trace the end of a rainbow and find it is a portal to a new realm. What is it like? Will you stay or return?

Blabbing Bunny

You save a bunny from certain death, and what do you discover? It can talk, and it grants wishes! What do you wish for? What happens?

Spring Poetry Prompts for Middle School

Poetry can be rhymed or unrhymed; it can have a meter or be free verse.

Poetry can be humorous or emotional, lovely or ridiculous. Everyone can write poetry.

Spring Haiku

Write three lines (5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables) about nature in the springtime.

How does winter give way to spring? 

Acrostic Poem on Spring

Choose a spring-themed word to write an acrostic poem (each line starts with a letter of the word).

Here are some ideas: SPRING, BLOSSOM, or NEW LIFE.

Ode to Spring

An ode is a poem written in praise of someone or something.

It is typically pretty short. Write an ode to Spring Break, or an ode to your favorite spring food: strawberries, asparagus, or Marshmallow Peeps.

Mother’s Day is also in the spring; write an ode to your mother or another influential woman in your life.

Ballad for Spring

A ballad is a song made of verses that have 4 lines (most pop songs are ballads).

The lines typically rhyme in an ABAB pattern. Write a verse to a song about spring.

You could use a real song as an inspiration and change the words to make them spring-like.

Spring Limerick

A limerick is a humorous poem with its own rhyme and meter (Edward Lear was the master of them).

Read a few aloud to your students and then ask them to write their own spring limerick.

Consider the topic: how do you feel during/after your gorge yourself on Easter candy?

Spring Expository Writing Prompts for Middle School

Expository writing, also called information writing, relies on facts; it’s the type of writing you find in textbooks.

While this type of writing usually involves research, you can assign prompts with which the student is already familiar.

Birds’ Nests

Why do birds build nests? What do they use to build them? What are the best places to build a nest?

Life Cycle of a Frog

How do frogs change as they grow?

Spring Sport

Pick a sport that is played in the spring. How do you play it?

How to Help the Earth

Earth Day falls on April 22 each year. What are some simple acts each person can do to help the Earth?

How to Build a Bird Feeder

Have you ever created a bird feeder from a milk container or a pinecone?

How should someone build one? Where should they hang it?

Spring Persuasive Writing Prompts for Middle School

Persuasive writing involves making an assertion (e.g.,“Jelly Bellys are the best jelly beans.”) and then persuading your reader that you are correct.

You have to provide reasons for your assertion (e.g., “They come in a wide variety of flavors, they pack a lot of flavor in a tiny bean, and you can combine them to make custom flavors.”)

Which is the Best Easter Candy and Why?

Stores fill aisles with spring-themed candy, and everyone has his favorite.

Which is the Cutest Baby Animal and Why?

Is it chicks, bunnies, chameleons, or Goldendoodles? Convince me.

Whether We Should Observe “Spring Forward”

Should we keep losing an hour each spring to have more hours of light in the evening or just keep the time the way it was all winter? Pick a side.

Whether Students Should Learn to Garden

Should gardening be a class (like writing, math, and music)? Why or why not?

What Is the Best Outdoor Activity?

Persuade someone to try an outdoor activity like goat yoga, planting a butterfly garden, frisbee golf, or rock climbing.

Spring Descriptive Writing Prompts for Middle School

How can you make your reader visualize what you are describing?

Use descriptive words that involve the five senses!

Describe What It is Like Outside After a Soaking Rain

What do you see, hear, feel, and smell when you step outside after it has rained?

Describe an Easter Candy

Tell about each moment of eating the candy, from picking it up and unwrapping it to taking the first bite.

Which candy will you pick: Cadbury Eggs, Marshmallow Peeps, Robin’s Eggs, or hollow chocolate bunnies? 

Describe How You Feel in the Morning

On rainy days, it is especially hard to get up.

How does your bed feel on such a day? Describe what you do in order to put off getting out of bed.

What do you do with your pillows, blankets, or alarm? How do your eyes feel?

What is the taste in your mouth? What sounds do you hear?

Describe Your Ultimate Vacation Destination

If you could design a house anywhere in the world to visit on spring break, where would it be and what would it include?

Describe an Animal

Using a picture of an animal, describe it in detail from tip to tail.

Don’t show anyone the picture. Can they guess the animal just by listening to your description?

25 Spring Writing Prompts for Middle School

After a long winter, spring is always a welcome season.

Leverage that positive association with these 25 spring writing prompts for middle schoolers.

6 Creative Spring Writing Activities for Second Grade

Your students will love these fun writing activities and you’ll love the creative hallway displays you can make with them! I’ve rounded up my favorite Spring writing activities for second grade, plus examples of the hallway displays we’ve created around them. They’re perfect for a Spring open house or an end-of-the-year celebration of learning!

Ah….Spring! It’s the perfect time of year for writing about science! Add these writing activities to your units on weather, life cycles, plants, butterflies, and more!

Spring Writing Activities for Second Grade

Write Weather Safety Guides

One of our topics in science is weather and students learn about different kinds of weather and the natural hazards of severe weather situations. Our writing project during this topic is to write natural hazard safety guides telling families how to take care during severe weather situations like floods, tornados, storms, extreme cold, and more.

These planning pages and booklet templates are part of this weather and climate science unit but you could certainly make your own.

Weather safety guide source

Write All About Spring Break

Getting your class back on track after Spring Break can be a feat, especially if they all have Spring fever! It can be hard to refocus your class the first week back, but these FREE Spring Break writing prompts can help!

Have your students tell you all about their break but have them do it in writing! As you reset your routines and procedures after the break, reestablish your journal writing routines, too. Use the 5 included writing prompts, one each day, for that first week back.

The prompts are formatted in easy-cut strips so students can glue them inside their journals. Easy peasy!

Spring Writing Activities About Life Cycles

During the Spring months we raise butterflies in our classroom and do a variety of life cycle projects . One fun way to get kids writing about science is to have them write about the life cycles they are learning.

Butterfly Life Cycle

During our butterfly life cycle unit students create these foldable butterfly booklets. Each component correlates to a minilesson and students write to explain what they have learned about the parts of a butterfly and caterpillar, the compound eye, pollination , and more.

The booklets make a wonderful addition to our life cycle hallway display that we set up at the end of the year for a celebration of learning.

Free Butterfly Kids Writing Activity

This fun and FREE Butterfly writing activity is an easy way to make a Spring bulletin board. I take pictures of each student, print them out at school in black and white (although you could certainly print them in color) and fold tissue paper squares to make butterfly wings.

Then we add them to our hallway display for our Spring open house . All the directions and the flower writing templates needed to make the butterfly kids are included in the free download.

Plant Life Cycle

Following our butterfly unit we move on to our plant life cycle unit . One of our favorite Spring writing activities to do during this unit is a foldable flower booklet. Similar to the butterfly booklets, students write to explain what they are learning about the different aspects of the plant life cycle and glue them into their booklets.

During our study of the plant life cycle we explore the interdependence of plants and animals , do several seed science experiments and investigate plant needs .

Frog Life Cycle

If you have access to tadpoles, observing the frog life cycle is always a highlight! This frog life cycle craft is a fun way to have your students write about each stage of the frog life cycle.

Students plan their writing first before adding it to the lily pad booklets.

Board Ideas Using the Spring Writing Activities

If you’re looking for ideas for a Spring hallway display, I’ve written a blog post with lots of Spring writing activities and pictures the life cycle garden hallway display we created for our Spring open house.

I hope you’ve found some Spring writing activities to do with your students. If you found this post helpful, please share it with your teacher friends on your social media channels!
