- I love all of the prompts you have! I think it's so important for kids to journal, they need to learn to express themselves. Another great way to journal is through a visual journal, I am an art teacher and love doing this with my students! I have some images on my website if you are interested. www.lookbetweenthelines.com. Thanks for sharing all of this great info!
