Resource: Tons of Rainbow Prompts
Sometimes you need to brighten up your playwriting and scene work with a splash of colour. Try assigning small groups of students each a colour and seeing how many of those prompts they can include in their scene, or focus on just the animal, mineral, or vegetable prompts for each colour. You could also use the colour prompts in a Family Feud-style game to see what objects your students associate with each colour.
You’ll find 50 prompts below, and 50 additional prompts in the giveaway at the bottom of the page.
