Writing Prompts
- Imagine you were tasked with keeping a group of rowdy teenage boys busy during the winter. Your supplies are limited to what can be found in the YMCA gym. What game might you develop?
- You just started a job selling items in the stands during basketball games. Write about your new job, being sure to write about what you are selling and the people who make purchases from you.
- You look up and see your face on the big screen above center court. Why are they showing you and how will you react?
- Walking by the basketball court, a basketball comes rolling up to you and stops at your feet. You pick it up and go to toss it back to the player. Tell about who was playing and what happens next.
- You were just hired to work for your favorite basketball team. What is your job? How does your first day go?
