Sharing Favorite Places

Map of My Favorite Childhood Place

From memory, sketch your favorite childhood place. It might be a summer house,
camp, hiking trail, playground, your room, etc. You might include the geographic
location of your childhood play space (city, state, country) and as many details as
you can remember.

On the back, write a brief description of the “place”. Explain key elements,
landscape features and/or the size.

What do you remember doing in this place? Did you spend time here alone or
with others? What age(s) were you when you spent time here? How did you feel
in this place? What did you learn in or from this place?

Places from your childhood trigger meaningful memories to write about. Hopefully
you can add this to your Writer’s Territories.
