Daily Journaling Questions to Engage Your Kids
If you’re a list-loving mom like myself, chances are, you make lists for your kids too. I’ve made chore lists and summer fun lists and to-do lists galore for my three kids. I’ve long wanted to start a journaling project with my kids, but they were not necessarily interested in writing about their feelings, or the best thing that happened today…every single day. So here are 365 fun journal prompts for kids, each asking for a quick list of three responses.
Before we dive into the prompts, let’s talk about why journaling is so valuable. Part of my journaling process includes a “list of 10” idea inspired by James Altucher. These lists range from useful topics to random themes. One day my list might be titled “10 ideas to organize my junk drawer.” The next list may be “10 ideas for a new board game.” As my journaling habit became more consistent, I knew that my daughters would benefit from a journaling practice as well. Since I love lists, I decided to use simple lists as daily journal prompts to make journaling easy and fun for them.

BENEFITS OF JOURNALING
The benefits of journaling are many and varied. This article, “The Health Benefits of Journaling,” published on PsychCentral, details several benefits of keeping a journal. For example, journaling can reduce stress by helping to process emotions. It can boost problem solving by allowing the exploration of options. Finally, the practice of journaling can increase self-knowledge, which is beneficial in decision making and relating to others. There are many forms of journaling, such as stream of consciousness writing, focused exercises, or the popular bullet journal. Whatever method you choose, research clearly suggests that the act of writing down your thoughts can have a positive impact. Journaling improves focus, provides perspective, and enhances memory.
Gratitude
There is also a link between journal writing and gratitude. The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley recommends keeping a gratitude journal and offers a few general tips. In order to emphasize an attitude of thankfulness in my kids, I wanted to include a prompt for gratitude. The first prompt of each month became a short gratitude list. Just list 3 things you’re thankful for. Advise your kids to be as specific as possible here, but nothing is too small to be put on the gratitude list.
Researcher Brene Brown has much to say about gratitude, and her suggestion that gratitude is often found in simple, everyday moments is certainly applicable to the moments our children experience.
Self-Awareness
By encouraging our children to write daily, we simultaneously help them expand their vocabulary, strengthen their self-discipline, and ignite their creativity. This short video from Conor Neill (teacher of leadership communication at IESE Business School), describes his introduction to journaling and the benefits of keeping a journal. I love the progression from “this is dumb” to “I learned something new today!”
I fully expect at least one of kids to start out in the “this is dumb” camp. In developing these fun journal prompts for kids, my intent is to find ways to make connections between them and me, and for them to make connections that help them learn more about themselves.
Make it Purposeful and Painless
Over the years, my kids have collected loads of diaries and journals and written only a few pages in them. I admit that I haven’t been consistent in my journaling either. Like many moms, I habitually prioritize family needs over my personal development. When life gets busy, some of my most valuable habits are the first things to get pushed aside. In the past year, I became more purposeful about developing my own journaling habit. As a result, I have experienced increased clarity in my thinking and greater creativity.
Anyone Can Do 5 Minutes!
Obviously, I want my kids to experience these benefits as well. For them to write in a journal consistently, the process must be as painless as possible. The video from Conor Neill referenced his college professor’s introduction to journaling by setting a 5-minute time frame. This effectively created an achievable goal. Write anything you want for five minutes? It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
However, my kids are elementary aged, not college students. Their knowledge of the world, and of themselves, is limited. So an open-ended period of time to write with no further instruction would probably result in some blank stares. To get them started, I needed something with more structure. I wanted to translate my own list-making practice into something feasible for my kids.
Keep It Simple & Fun
I determined three essential factors to make this work for my kids. First, it has to be simple. Second, they require some direction. And third, there must be an element of fun. To keep things simple, I created a predictable, consistent format. By providing a fun journal prompt every day, they have a focus for their writing. Three answers to a question is an attainable goal. The fun factor is delivered by including some silly or imaginative prompts that stimulate kids’ naturally creative thought processes.
By calling them lists, it eases any pressure to make the daily journaling into an extensive writing project. Intuitively, we expect lists to provide information in a short and sweet format.

Lists Provide Direction
Each day prompts for a list of three things. The first prompt of each month is “3 things you’re thankful for.” This is a gratitude exercise to get them in a mindset of remembering to be thankful. Then at the end of each month is a prompt for “3 favorite things about this month.” The purpose of this is to urge them to reflect upon what brings them joy or delight.
Throughout the month there are prompts to provide nostalgia and record memories (3 jobs you might like to have when you grow up). Some prompts are thought-provoking and help your child increase self-awareness (3 things that make you feel confident). A few prompts encourage them to consider important life skills (3 questions to ask when you first meet someone). And finally, some are just for fun (3 places to hide an elephant)!

This list of 365 fun journal prompts is intended to establish a practice of daily journaling without being intimidating or overwhelming. Don’t fret if your child struggles to complete some of the daily prompts. Instead, engage with them when they do write. Allow them to write about anything else that they find meaningful. Even if they only draw a picture or write down one thing, the act of sitting down to write in a journal is a keystone habit. This is a habit that can influence positive change in other areas. Your encouragement of this practice, and even more, your participation with them, will have enduring benefits.
Why I Want My Kids to Journal
- They develop discipline
Like anything that requires a certain level of “work” it develops an ability to complete a task that is expected - They build a habit
My hope is that journaling will become a lifelong habit for my kids. Habits don’t just happen. They are developed through continued, consistent effort. - I get to know them better
Most of these prompts are not their deepest, darkest secrets. They are intended to be shared, maybe even prompting discussion at the dinner table. There are probably things our family has done for years that drive them crazy…now I might find out about them! (Prompt: 3 things you wish our family would do less often) - They get to know themselves better
I hope these fun journal prompts will also help them explore their hopes and dreams, what makes them relax, or what inspires them (Prompt: 3 things that make you feel better when you’re feeling down) - They think about others
I want my kids to be kind and thoughtful adults. In order for them to feel empathy for others, they need to be reminded to consider how their words and actions affect others. (Prompt: 3 questions you can ask someone when you meet them)
Introduce your children to a lifelong journaling practice with these 365 Daily Journal Prompts for Kids. At the very least, making these brief entries can become a nostalgic family keepsake. Furthermore, it is a valuable way for your kids to develop self-awareness. As they utilize a journal to reflect upon their feelings, examine their preferences, and generate inventive ideas, their lives are enriched in a profound way. I can’t wait to look back in a few years and see what my kids wrote about “3 things your parents do that you don’t want to do if you have kids!”
Have fun with these 365 fun journal prompts for kids. Your child will think creatively, be silly and consider what matters most to them. They’ll love to hear your answers too!

These are so, SO good, thank you! I’ve been assigning my 8-year-old just one short journal prompt a day over the summer to help keep her writing top of mind and MAN, it’s been shockingly beneficial. I’ll definitely be using a bunch of these to help close out the summer. Thanks again!
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these! Thanks for letting me know!
