Interesting and Fun Writing Activities

Writing activities can be boring sometimes, so what the teachers need to do is find a way to make them more interesting or fun.

For example a way of making this activities more interesting could be to first read an interesting newspaper article and write a summary of it, or it can be something other than a newspaper article, maybe something form a magazine or something the student saw on T.V. anything that the student would want to write about.

Teachers can also make this activities into competitions to make it more fun.

For example have the students listen to a recording and as soon as its over have them write down some of the specific things they've just heard (a supermarket list, list of chores, activities for the day, etc.) and the winner could even get a reward if the teachers thinks its a good idea.

Teachers can also make it so that the students realize how they can use writing in the real world.

For example the teacher can have the students do a role-play activity where they are writing a letter to a friend that lives far away. For this the teacher can have some questions on the board and the students make their letter by answering those questions with their own information. For example:

What is your friend's name?
His name is Jose
Where did you meet?
We met at school
etc...
Hi Jose I still remember when we met at school..............

There are a lot of more ways a teacher can make a writing activity fun and interesting and those were just some ideas.
