Journal Writing Prompts

We started journal writing as a family. We have a few rules with this "freestyle" type of writing.
  1. I don't read it unless they let me.
  2. I don't correct spelling or grammar, unless they ask.
  3. They can make lists, draw pictures, and decorate anyway they want to.
  4. They can just use copywork instead of their own creative writing.
  5. They don't have to use my prompt and can alter the promt to suite themselves.
My children love doing this.  We are just using ordinary notebooks right now.  But if they fill a notebook with their own writings, I will buy them fancy journals for their next journal.
 
So here are some websites that came up with ideas:
