Beach/Ocean Animal Writing Activities and Prompts

Photo of Beach/Ocean Animal Writing Activities and Prompts plus a free download


Summer writing topics are one of my favorites to teach. I’m lucky enough to live a block back from the beach in a small holiday town on the East Coast of NSW, Australia. There is always something going on down the beach and I am often found their with my trusty camera!
 

If you would like to download more of my personal beach images or other Summer images, click here. These images could be used as writing prompts for your Summer writing program.
There are so many things to write about like games and activities on the beach, weather, safety and animals.

These books below are a great introduction to animals that live on the beach or in the ocean near the beach (see the fish in the see grass in the images above fighting against the motion of the waves).
On the Beach by Alastair Smith
On the Way to the Beach by Henry Cole
Mister Seahorse by Eric Carle
What Can Live in the Ocean? By  Sheila Anderson
Commotion in the Ocean by Giles Andreae
Possible Writing Prompts and Activities that will complement these books:
  • Ocean Animals Book – Enchanted Learning
  • Everything Beneath the Sea Song – Learn English Kids 
  • Photo Gallery: Colorful Sea Creatures – National Geographic
  • Ocean Animal Pics – Pics4Learning
  • Animals of the Ocean Word Search – Education.com
