A few ideas:
Bring a small commercially made treat (we can't bring homemade items), and have the students describe it or write something it brings to mind. For instance, students could work on description by thoroughly describing jelly bellies.
Bring a picture. We have a document camera so we can show it using the projector. Or you could email the file to me, and we could show it with the projector.
Bring an item -- an old shoe, an unusual rock, some other item.
Find a brief passage from a favorite book. Share it.
Bring a poem. Students could imitate the poem, write another related one, or write about the topic of the poem.
Bring the first sentence or two of a book. Don't tell them what the book is. Their job is to write the first page that would follow that line.
Show a clip from a movie or cartoon or youtube video (totally school appropriate).
Play music.
Some other challenge or idea you've thought up.
