Ancient Adventures
Creative Writing Competition
Ideal for 7-12
Take the excitement of history and mix it with imagination to create ancient adventures!
Your child can pick any person, place or event from history to inspire their mini saga, a story told in just 100 words.
From discovering a pharaoh's tomb or a soldier in the trenches to being Queen Victoria or an explorer sailing the seven seas it's a great way to get them having a bit of fun and to create original short stories.
There are many additional resources ready to have your child raring to write, so download them and take a look!
