A Picnic Is Easy Writing

Family picnics were part of Byron's Independence Day Is activity, and that set me to remembering how much fun a picnic could be. Students can write about a picnic in this Easy Writing activity. The sentence starts with "A picnic is" and the available sentence endings include: sunny weather, cooking outdoors, hot dogs, hamburgers, cold drinks, watermelon, keeping cool, flying a kite, playing horseshoes, and (inevitably) ants.
