Story Prompts for Young Writers

History is exciting - let’s get writing!

Designed for primary school writers aged 6 and above, these fun and imaginative prompts help parents and teachers create a sense of excitement about creative writing.

Tutor Isabelle King explains how to create characters and memorable settings, encouraging young writers to then explore their stories further.

These short exercises are suitable for children to work through on their own or in a group setting. We recommend a parent or teacher being present to help.
