We talked about April Fool’s Day at school, where I was substitute teaching in second grade. The youngsters were writing in their journals and needed a writing prompt.
So here are some they could choose that involved April Fool’s Day:
- Tell about an April Fool’s Day experience you remember from another year.
- Write about a funny, but nice April Fool’s Day joke you plan.
- Write about something nice you can do for someone on April Fool’s Day.
- Tell about a gift you can make for someone on April Fool’s Day, one student suggested.
- Older students could research the origin of April Fool’s Day and write about it.
Do you have any suggestions?
