We are in living in strange, unprecedented times during this global coronavirus pandemic. Our daily lives are upended and we’re faced with a new, ever-shifting reality.
Staying at home has never been more urgent–but it’s not always fun and games, is it? Especially if you, like me, have (easily bored) kids at home. With regular activities suspended and your screen time limits for them still in place, what to do with them? Or what to suggest they do on their own?
How about some Imagination Writing?
Imagination writing is writing with abandon. It’s writing for the sake of writing, not for the sake of story.
Writing a story takes imagination, creativity, structure and a lot of hard work, but imagination writing lets you let loose, play around with words, have some fun and let your imagination run wild!
Here are some activities to allow you to do just that! Each activity can be easily modified for kids (and adults) of all ages. Do them alone or with friends, whether you’re with them in person or online. Take as little or as much time as you have, and come back to them whenever you want—the possibilities are limited only by your imagination!

I’d love to hear from you with any comments or suggestions, so feel free to leave a note or send me an email (jenbraaksmabookcoach@gmail.com) anytime!
Happy writing!
