A Twist in the Tale | Creative Writing Competition | 5-11 Years

Your pupils are invited to be part of the fantastic A Twist in the Tale experience!
Let’s get your pupils buzzing about writing today…
Get your pupils gripped with creative writing as they write their own mini saga, a story told in just 100 words, with a twist.

Your pupils could write an original story with a twist or retell a classic tale with a new spin, helping them to build confidence in writing as they focus their ideas and consider their word choices to write their mini saga.

The online resources offer lesson plans that cover writing a mini saga and how to add a twist to the tale, as well as story starter ideas & how to create a character so you can create an immersive unit or use it as a stand-alone lesson.

There’s a fantastic video that introduces your pupils to the activity in just 1 minute! It’s guaranteed to create excitement, banish boredom, and lets you enjoy seeing your whole class engaged!

We also have The Magic Door open for this age range, feel free to mix and match resources and ideas, you know what will inspire your pupils most!
