40 free Christmas Writing Prompt Printables For Kids Aged 5-14

Christmas is soon to be upon us, and I don’t know about you, but in December most of our homeschool days revolve around Christmas!! As such I have created these free Christmas writing prompt printables for you to have fun with.

These are a perfect addition to your lineup of Christmas activities for kids. Let their imagination run wild as they create heartwarming stories, letters to Santa, or festive poems that capture the magic of the holiday season.

I have created 30 printable pages with the prompts below, but I have also included 10 blank pages for you to make up your own.

Christmas is such a wonderful time of year, and for us, we take a break from our core curriculum and focus entirely on educational Christmas activities.

Christmas writing activities for kids

These Christmas free printable writing prompts are a perfect way to continue with school work, but still, have fun. These shouldn’t take any more than 30 minutes to an hour.

I have broken these Christmas journal prompts into elementary-aged students and middle schoolers.

But of course, if your middle schooler prefers one of the elementary Christmas writing prompts that is totally fine.

The main point of this activity is to encourage writing. Another way to encourage writing this holiday season is to get the kids to write their Santa wish lists.
