Cretive Writing Workshops for Schools

Creative Writing Workshops: Spark Imagination, Storytelling & Expression for Your Class

Explore the magic of storytelling with our Creative Writing Workshops! Choose from three exciting options: Fairytales, where students create enchanted worlds and characters; Roald Dahl, bringing the whimsy, humor, and imagination of his stories to life; and Superheroes, where children invent thrilling heroes, powers, and adventures. Each workshop uses interactive writing prompts, drama, and role-play to build creativity, vocabulary, and confidence. Perfect for inspiring a love of writing, developing storytelling skills, and letting your class’s imagination soar!

Format

Each workshop begins with a fun warm-up to spark imagination, led by a costumed actor. Students explore story worlds through interactive drama and writing games, create characters and plots, develop ideas with group improvisation, and bring their stories to life with performances, role-play, or readings, finishing with a creative reflection or quick-fire activity to reinforce learning.

Learning Outcomes and Curriculum Links

Imagination and Creativity
Our Creative Writing Workshops are designed to spark imagination, build storytelling skills, and develop confidence in young writers, while supporting literacy, drama and communication skills in line with the primary curriculum. Across all three workshops: Fairytales, Roald Dahl, and Superheroes, students engage in a mix of creative writing, drama, and interactive activities that foster both imaginative and practical skills. Students develop creativity by inventing characters, plots, and worlds. In the Fairytales workshop, they explore magical settings, fantastical creatures, and traditional story structures, learning to use imagination to solve narrative challenges. In the Roald Dahl workshop, they experiment with humor, whimsy, and playful language to craft unique, engaging stories. In the Superheroes workshop, they invent original heroes, powers, and adventures, encouraging bold, inventive thinking. Across all workshops, children are encouraged to take risks and think beyond conventional ideas, building originality and confidence. Students strengthen essential writing skills such as vocabulary, sentence structure, punctuation, narrative sequencing, and story development. Drama and role-play activities complement writing exercises, helping children verbalise ideas, organise plots, and bring characters to life. By combining creative play with written expression, students gain a deeper understanding of storytelling techniques and enhance their literacy skills.
