Holi Festival of Colours Writing Prompts | Paper and Digital

Help your students build writing stamina and fluency by giving them a variety of choices for writing about the Holi Festival of Colours. A variety of formats make it easy to prepare and use these writing prompts whether you are teaching in-person or in your online classroom.

This set is included in our Holiday Daily Writing Prompts Bundle.

This quick and easy product includes:

• teacher instructions on how to use the prompts.
• student genre reference page.
• simple criteria for each genre.
• three formats of prompts: full page, half page, and a Google Slides version so you can use the format that works for you (and your copy budget)
• three prompts for each of the ten days (that's 30 prompts) that alternate between narrative, persuasive, expository and poetry genres. All of the prompts fit with a Holi Festival theme. Students do not need background about Holi to write. There is at least one prompt a day where no background knowledge is needed.
• a link to a blog post with more ideas on how to use the prompts.
• Canadian/British and American spellings.
