“Random Writing: Narrative” is an inspiring resource designed to ignite children’s imaginations and develop their narrative writing skills across Key Stages 1 and 2.
Featuring 9 imaginative story prompts with eye-catching images, this resource encourages children to dive into creative worlds and invent characters, settings, and plots of their own. Prompts include exciting scenarios such as “Your shadow ran away. Write about what happened and explain how you got your shadow back,” and “You drink a magic potion and shrink to the size of a bug. Write about the world you explore and the friends (or enemies) you make.”
Each prompt is supported by a Random Writing Discussion Overview, designed to be shared with the class before writing. These overviews help teachers build anticipation, spark rich discussions, and guide children in exploring ideas, vocabulary, and structure before they begin.
To personalise their work, Random Writing Book Slips can be added to the top of each child’s page, providing a clear prompt and helping them focus their ideas while giving their writing a real sense of purpose.
“Random Writing: Narrative” can be used flexibly across the curriculum — as a warm-up for longer writing units, a creative challenge during English lessons, or an independent activity to inspire storytelling.
In summary, “Random Writing: Narrative” transforms story writing into an imaginative adventure, empowering every child to craft vivid, original tales filled with excitement, emotion, and creativity.
