Candy store printable writing prompt

by | Jun 1, 2016 | Writing & Journal Prompts

What could be more delightful for a child than being surrounded by candy all day long? In this month’s free printable writing prompt, your young writers persuade the owner of a candy store to hire them.

Encourage your children to use their imagination to visualize the fictional scene before they start writing.

  • What kind of candy store is it?
  • Does it sell designer chocolates in glass cases? Or is the store lined with bins of gleaming jelly beans?
  • Is it located in a quiet plaza or in a busy mall?
  • What kind of customers shop there?
  • What work would your children do as employees there?

After this verbal brainstorming, give them the free Candy Store printable writing prompt to outline their three reasons why they are the perfect candidates for the job.
