For preschoolers, have them tell you their story as you write. Read it back to them and illustrate it together.

For older writers, try Round Robin Writing:
1. Choose a story starter.
2. Start writing for 5-10 minutes.
3. Stop and then pass your paper to the left.
4. Read over what the last person wrote. Next, continue the story.
5. Write for 3 minutes and then stop. Pass it to the next person.
6. This process continues until the original writer gets their paper back.
7. You’ve now created multiple group stories!
8. Share and giggle at your creations.

Print these Easter Story Starters, cut them apart and place them inside plastic eggs in an Easter basket. Take turns picking a story idea to get you started. Have fun creating and/or illustrating your story.
