How the Grinch Stole Christmas Writing Prompt Printable

This idea is from Falcon Flyer on the forums.  Have students write about what would have happened if Cindy Lou Who did not go back to bed.

Here is some advice from Falcon Flyer: “They always turn out really cute and funny. I would warn you to tell them that Cindy can’t get violent. The first year I used this prompt, I didn’t think to do that, and Cindy did some pretty awful things to the Grinch!”

There are 4 pages included that have handwriting lines, wide lines, narrow lines and blank space for writing.

The 4-page PDF has the prompt “Cindy Lou Who didn’t go back to bed. Instead she…” with name and date lines. The pages offer blank space, handwriting lines, wide lines, and narrow lines.

Creative Writing: “Cindy Lou Who didn’t go back to bed. Instead she…”

 

Ways to use it

• Brainstorm ideas as a class first.
