53 Back to School Prompts

Journal Prompts for Kids about Back to School Part 2 (see Back to School Journal Prompts Part 1 here)— As your students adjust to a new grade, new teachers, and new lessons, encourage them to explore their thoughts and feelings about the school year with these 53 new journal prompts.

Back to School Writing Prompts for Kids

From thinking about their influence over younger students to determining the most efficient ways to complete homework, these journaling exercises help students focus on their hopes and goals for the year. Best of all, the fun questions here are a great way to ease students back into writing after a long summer vacation.

When students journal they quickly become more comfortable with writing and expressing their own opinions. Journaling teaches students that they have something valuable to say and gives them an open forum to voice their feelings. By beginning the year with back to school journal prompts, you can set the tone for a successful school year full of journaling and reflection.

Go back to school the right way with these new journal prompts, and watch as your students get creative with their plans for the upcoming year!
