Creative Writing Adventure!

Introduction

Hello, Year 1 Superstars! ✨ Are you ready to go on a special adventure today? We’re going to learn about creative writing! This is a fun way to use our imagination and tell our own stories. To kick things off, let's start with a unique game!

The Magical Box

What You'll Need:

• A small, decorated box (you can use an old shoebox!)
• Some colourful pieces of paper
• A pencil or crayon

How It Works:

1. The Mystery Box: Let's imagine that we have a magical box in our class! Inside this box, we have some very special items. Today, you all get to help fill it!

2. Item Time: I will pass around the box to each of you. When it’s your turn, you can close your eyes and pick out one piece of paper. Each piece of paper has a different word or image on it. For example, words could be "dragon", "ice cream", "a rainbow", or "a spaceship". If you like, you can make up your own secret word too!

3. Sharing Our Ideas: After everyone has picked their item, we will sit in a circle and share what we picked! Let’s think of fun stories that connect all our items.

4. Imagine and Write: Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and start writing our own short stories! You can use your item as a part of your story or a whole super-duper adventure all on its own!

Questions to Get You Thinking:

• What happens when your dragon meets an ice cream truck?
• How does a rainbow take a trip in a spaceship?
• Where do your ideas lead you?

Wrapping Up:

Once we’ve finished writing, we can share our stories with each other! Remember, there are no right or wrong answers in creative writing—just let your imagination soar! 🌈
