Transform writing lessons with 100+ fun, practical, curriculum-friendly activities. Cracking Creative Writing in KS2 gives teachers ready-to-use tasks that spark creativity, build skills and help pupils take pride in their writing.
Writing doesn't have to be dull, slow, or a chore. It can be quick, fun, and incredibly rewarding - and this book proves it!
Inside, you'll find over 100 tried-and-tested activities designed to spark creativity in Key Stage 2 children. Each activity kicks off with a worked example, showing exactly the kind of piece they're aiming for. Then, with clear step-by-step guidance, children are encouraged to craft their own writing - something they can be genuinely proud of. The whole idea? To put the writer in charge of their work, not the other way round.
Activities take around 30-60 minutes and cover everything from creative approaches to tricky grammar to playful ways of exploring language. Some are simple, others more challenging, but all of them are rooted in real writing - no boring, disconnected exercises here! Instead, children learn by experimenting with their own words, discovering how language works, why rules matter, and - most importantly - what exciting things they can do with it.
These aren't just "free writing" tasks. Each activity has a clear challenge, structure, and purpose - almost like a game plan. Sometimes that means using a dictionary or thesaurus to stretch an idea, and children are guided on that right from the start.
At its heart, this book is about showing children that writing matters. Teachers want children to succeed at it, and children themselves want to feel good at it. With the right tools - and a dash of fun - writing can become not only a skill but a source of genuine enjoyment.
