Lunar New Year Writing Prompts | Paper and Digital

Help your students build writing stamina and fluency by giving them a variety of choices for Lunar New Year writing. 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. You can also find this resource in our Lunar New Year Bundle!

This quick and easy resource 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 Lunar New Year theme. Each slide has at least one prompt that can be completed with no knowledge of Lunar New Year. Prompts included traditions from Chinese New Year, Korean New Year (Seollal) and Vietnamese New Year (Tết Nguyên Đán).
• a link to a blog post with more ideas on how to use the prompts.

Ninja Note: To access the digital version, download the PDF and click on the link in the file.

We use these prompts as quick writes (10-15 minutes a day) to increase fluency and interest in writing in our upper elementary classroom.
