Alien Pen Pal

Imagine you’ve made a new friend who happens to be an alien. Describe what they are like and a conversation you had with them.

This prompt aims to expand children’s creativity and encourage them to consider the perspectives of characters vastly different from themselves. The idea of extraterrestrial life introduces a great deal of potential for creativity in terms of the alien’s physical attributes, behaviors, and cultures. This also subtly touches on themes like diversity, acceptance, and dialogue.
