Writing Activity for Kids Here’s a writing activity I sometimes use with kids when I teach writing workshops: 1)  Choose your favorite animal 2)  Make a list of things this animal can do better at than humans. 3)  Now make a list of things humans can do that this animal CAN’T do. What might your animal do instead? For example: a dog can’t open a door. He might solve that problem by barking until someone comes and opens the door. 4)  Write a story about your animal and make the animal the main character. Use examples from each of your lists. 5)  Share your story with a parent, teacher or friend. Discuss how your story would be different if the main character was a human instead of an animal.
