A Vampire Bit My Neck Last Night

This Creative Writing Prompts worksheet features a spooky yet humorous poem titled “A Vampire Bit My Neck Last Night” from the book The Elephant Repairman, which describes a series of nightmarish encounters with various monsters. The activity includes creative writing prompts that encourage students to expand on the poem’s theme through imaginative scenarios. Students are asked to write about meeting one of the monsters, reimagine the monsters as friendly characters, and create an alternative scenario where the speaker avoids scary movies. This exercise enhances creative writing skills, promotes imaginative storytelling, and encourages students to explore different perspectives and outcomes. The Halloween-inspired theme makes it particularly engaging for grades 4-6, while also subtly addressing themes of fear and problem-solving in a lighthearted context.
