365 Daily Journal Prompts for Kids Simple list-based journal prompts for a whole year

Each day prompts for a list of three things. The first prompt of each month

is “3 things you’re thankful for” and at the end of each month is a prompt for

“3 favorite things about this month.”

Some days are meant to provide nostalgia and record memories (3 jobs you

might like to have when you grow up). Other days are meant to be thought-

provoking and help your child increase self-awareness (3 things that make you

feel confident). Some prompts will encourage them to think about important

life skills (3 questions to ask when you first meet someone). And some are just

for fun (3 places to hide an elephant)!

The following pages are set up as labels that can be printed on Avery 8160

address labels. The first set is labeled with a date (e.g. January 1) and the

journal prompt. A second set is included with only the journal prompts if you

prefer to choose your own order of use.

After printing, it is easy to peel and stick the labels into a notebook or journal.

A wide-ruled school notebook works great for this project.

Introduce your children to a lifelong practice of journaling with these 365 lists.
