Overview

A creative learning project that teaches children (ages 8–12) how to build stories, express ideas, and speak with confidence. It blends storytelling, acting, and public speaking into a playful curriculum. Each lesson encourages imagination, empathy, and clear communication.

• Learn story structure (beginning, middle, end)
• Develop characters and dialogue
• Practice confident voice projection
• Use emotion and pacing effectively

Inspiration

The idea began from watching how children light up when telling stories. It’s about helping kids feel proud of their ideas and giving them tools to share them clearly — both on stage and in everyday life.

Build-A-Character Challenge

Students roll a “story dice” or draw cards with random traits — for example:

• Who: A shy dragon who loves to paint
• Where: In a busy marketplace
• Goal: To sell their first masterpiece

Then, they spend 5 minutes inventing a short story and practicing how they’d tell it out loud. The focus is on voice tone, emotion, and confidence, not memorization.

Skills Gained

• Public speaking confidence
• Creative thinking & improvisation
• Empathy through character perspective
• Clarity and storytelling flow

Next Steps

• Finalize 6-week beginner curriculum
• Create printable “story builder” sheets
• Record demo videos for sample exercises
• Launch first pilot workshop locally

Vision

To turn storytelling into a life skill that grows with each child — blending fun, imagination, and personal expression so they can speak up and share their ideas proudly.
