How the Class Works:

A Playful Writing Sprint

Each session the teacher will draw two random word prompts—maybe “whales” and “high heels”—and students have just three minutes to whip up a three‑sentence story. It’s quick, quirky, and full of creative surprises!

Friendly and Fearless

This is writing with the pressure turned way down. Little storytelling bursts like this banish perfectionism and coax even the most hesitant writer to leap in.

Made for Every Kind of Kid

Whether your child dreams up long tales or stares at the blank page, this game‑style class gives every child a chance to shine—without any judgement, and with encouragement from authors who teach.

What Happens in Class

  • Lightning‑fast Prompts – Two unexpected topics per round spark imaginative storytelling on the fly.
  • No Stress, All Fun – With only three sentences, the focus is on playful imagination—not perfection.
  • Guided by Real Authors – Students get gentle suggestions and support, not harsh critiques.

Perfect For Kids Who…

  • Giggle at the weird and wonderful
  • Get stuck staring at a blank page
  • Hate pressure, but love to play with words
  • Want a quick, fun writing burst—without feeling like it’s “homework” Are ready to explore creativity with a dash of storytelling silliness
