Utilizing writing prompts helps to sharpen and improve your writing skills. These prompts cover a wide range of topics and are also perfect for all language learning levels. Below, you'll find a compilation of writing prompts as well as links from some other sites.
Knowing your grammar, the sentence structure of your target language, conjugations, and, of course, the vocabulary is essential for writing properly and speaking fluently. The only way to truly hone all these skills is to keep on practicing them.
Throughout this page, you'll find a whole bunch of activities and prompts to keep you entertained and inspired. Whether it be more hands-on activities or fun brain-teasing prompts, there's something here for everyone! And if you want to dive deeper into grammar, conjugations, or more writing practice, check out the writing worksheets page by clicking here or manually go there by clicking on the 'write' page in the header.
The first 2 activities were inspired by WeAreTeachers.com. If you would like some more grammar activities, check out the link above!
1) Pick a sentence - End a Sentence: Before starting this activity, you will need to print or write out at least 50-60 vocab words on an index card or small piece of paper. You will also want to make sure that your vocabulary words are either a subject, object, or verb. This is what will allow you to practice making sentences.
The objective of this activity is to make as many sentences as possible. There are a few ways to spice up this activity to make it more enjoyable. For example, you could add a time limit to this activity. And each time you play you can try to beat your highest score. You can also eliminate cards after using them to make the game harder.
2) Play Taboo: There are 2 versions of this activity, one where you need a partner and one where you do not. The first version is just your traditional taboo game. One person will place a card with a word on their forehead and the partner has to describe the word on the card without saying the actual word.
In version 2, you will engage in AI technology like ChatGPT. As you play, you will be tasked with the role of describing the designated word. All you need to do to start the game is to type "Can you play Taboo with me in [Target Language]?" ChatGPT will then provide a brief overview of the gameplay before you get started.
3) What activities would you like to see? Whether you prefer interactive games to spice up your learning experience, targeted exercises to tackle your own specific language challenges, or any other writing-focused activities, your feedback is invaluable. So please reach out through email or the contact page with your suggestions, ideas, and requests.
What do you want to see from me? Think of this like a symbiotic relationship. You help me and I help you. Having an idea of what learners like you want or need will make it easier for me to come up with new and engaging (hopefully) activities. This website was originally created as a place where you can find all the resources you may need in one place. But as I researched links and websites to add to the site, I realized that there weren't as many resources. Most activities need partners or groups of people. And a lot of activities shown throughout sites have been repeated. So now I need your help to add more engaging and new activities to the site. So please don't hesitate to share your suggestions, ideas, or requests with me!
