Dream Vacation Writing Prompt

Why We’re Writing About Dream Vacations

Have you ever closed your eyes and imagined the perfect trip? Maybe it’s walking on a white sandy beach, hiking through a rainforest, or exploring a famous city full of history and culture. Everyone has their own idea of a dream vacation, and today you’ll get the chance to share yours in writing.

Imagine Your Ideal Trip

For this warm-up, imagine that you can travel anywhere in the world with no limits. Money doesn’t matter, and you have all the time you need. First, think carefully about the place you would choose. Next, picture the experiences you’d want to have while you’re there. Finally, remember that the goal is to paint a picture with your words so your classmates can feel like they are right there with you.

Questions to Guide Your Writing

  • Where would you go? Would it be a specific city, a country, or a type of place like mountains or islands?
  • What would you do there? For example, think about activities, food, and adventures.
  • Who would you bring with you? Would you travel with family, friends, or go on your own?
  • Why would this trip be meaningful to you?

Writing Expectations

When you write your comment, make sure it is at least 5–7 sentences long. In addition, use descriptive language and details to make your dream vacation come alive. For instance, instead of just saying “I want to go to Paris,” you might describe eating fresh croissants at a café, climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and walking along the sparkling Seine River at night.

Helpful Sentence Frames

Sometimes it can be hard to start or finish, so here are some frames to guide you:

Sentence Starters:

  • “My dream vacation would be to travel to…”
  • “One of the things I would love to do there is…”
  • “I would want to try…”
  • “This place is special to me because…”

Sentence Endings:

  • “That is why this would be my dream vacation.”
  • “If I could go anywhere in the world, this is where I would choose.”
  • “I hope one day I will get to experience this trip in real life.”
