National Pet Day Journal Prompts to Celebrate Our Furry Friends— Though many pet owners put their furry friends first every day, National Pet Day is a very special holiday that encourages people to give greater attention to animals who could use a little extra love. 

National Pet Day Writing Prompts

Held each year on April 11th, this day of recognition is a great time to teach students about the important work that animal shelters do, the beautiful companionship that animals can offer, and what it takes to be a responsible pet owner.

These National Pet Day journal prompts give your students the chance to reflect on all of these topics and more.  With questions ranging from the fantastical to the practical, these prompts will keep students engaged and interested in writing about their own pets and other animals in need. 

Most of the prompts are also designed to appeal to both students who own pets and to students who do not own pets—so that no one has to be left out of the fun of celebrating!
