Personally, my daughter works through 2–3 of these prompts each week as part of her casual morning schoolwork. It’s not strict – sometimes she skips a day, and other times she’ll grab an extra prompt if she’s really in the mood to write. I love that this keeps writing pressure-free and fun, while still giving her a chance to think, imagine, and reflect throughout the summer.

I hope these July journal prompts help make summer writing fun and relaxed. Whether your child writes every day or just a few times a week like we do, the goal is simply to keep their imagination working.
