Swap the Squiggle Writing

My class had the greatest time doing Swap the Squiggle writing.

 The idea is to take a random squiggle and create a picture to write a story about. But my twist on this popular idea is to "Swap the Squiggle" which involves a group/team effort in creating the final picture. I have found that this activity helps motivate reluctant writers. What fun! These 15 squiggle writing prompts will be sure to engage your students.

Here's one of the cutest prompts generated today. 5 people worked on this picture.


A story was written about a girl stepping in gum.

    1. The original/first person that started the drawing goes back to their paper and then writes a story.
