Bob is an ordinary kid
who finds himself having to go to school in the most terrifying place he can
imagine: outer space! Luckily he makes friends with a lost little alien named Beep,
and together they face all the usual school challenges (tests, too much
homework, bullies) and the not-so-usual (lack of gravity, black holes, giant
space spiders). You can read all about their adventures (Bob keeps a journal
and Beep draws the pictures) and use the following prompts to create your own!
Writing Prompts:
In
a few words or paragraphs or pages, complete the following:
“I
was just accepted to go to school that’s located _____________ miles away,
somewhere near ________________________ but I’m super nervous to go there
because ___________________________.”
“Don’t
be mad, but I just let an alien into the school and it___________.”
“You’re
never going to believe this, but we just went on a field trip to _________ and
just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse ____________________.”
“I
once traveled to the future for a day and to my great surprise
_____________________.”
“Whatever
you do, don’t push the red button because it ___________________!”
“I
just found a special spray that cures me of my biggest fears, which are
______________ but the spray also gives me strange side effects such as
______________.”
“My
Emergency Space Pack is full of such helpful items as ___________________ but
also has some pretty useless things like _______________________.”
“Oh,
no, I forget the password that disables the Self-Destruct Button I just
accidentally pushed, but I know it’s one of my twenty favorite things, which
are _________________ and _____.”
“I
just read the entire BEEP AND BOB series, which was pretty good, but I have an
idea for an even better series which is about ___________________.”
Illustration
Prompts:
Beep
is a cute alien, but there are some aliens Bob hasn’t met. So Bob will know who
to look out for, please draw:
Squeep,
who’s even cuter than Beep
and
Klob, who’s super scary.
Know
any other aliens? Draw them too!
I
hope you have fun with your writing and illustrating. The main thing to
remember is that you can always, always improve with practice. And being
creative can be a blast!
