July Journal Prompts

Here is a listing of July journal prompts to incorporate into your journaling projects, live-streams, social media posts and even to spark conversation around the dinner table.

We started our family journaling project in 2017. It is a way to encourage creativity and conversation within our family.

If you have not started a regular routine of connecting with your family and encouraging your children to express themselves, I challenge you to join us. No rules on how to engage – just a daily prompt and a challenge to share your thoughts via words, song, art, or whatever way your heart desires.
