Home's Cool Learning Activity: Silly Stories Writing Prompts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLULocKubd4&feature=emb_logoHome's Cool! Create your own silly story with crazy characters doing funny things in interesting settings!  It’s all up to you and your imagination!  These stories can be told to a friend or family member or written out with lots of detail.  This also makes a fun family game – telling silly stories to one another!Ages: 4-10Supplies:
  • 3 envelopes
  • Small slips of paper
  • Writing paper
  • Pencil
silly storiesProcedure:
  1. Divide your slips of paper into three piles.
  2. Label your envelopes, one with “Who?”, the next with “What?”, and the third with “Where?”
  3. On each slip of paper in the first pile, write the name of a different character.  You can write your sister’s name, your teacher’s, an alien, a frog. The possibilities are endless!  Place these slips of paper in the “Who?” envelope.
  4. On each slip of paper in the next pile, write a different “situation” or “activity”.  Think of things that you’d like to see happen in a story.  For example- climbing a mountain, doing homework, swimming, playing a video game.  Place these slips of paper in the “What?” envelope.
  5. Write a different “setting” on each slip of paper in the last pile. Think of fun places for a story to take place.  Great examples are Mars, school, the doctor’s office, or an amusement park.  Place these slips of paper in the “Where?” envelope.
  6. Now you’re ready to tell your story! Pull one slip from each envelope to create your silly story. (Parent note: Depending on child’s age- you can tell the story orally, or have them write it down with plenty of details about their character and setting)
  7. For even more family fun, have each player draw a picture illustrating a scene from the story and share it with the group!
