Every season, all year

Six packs that follow the UK school year. Each one has five story prompts and three character ideas.

Bonfire Night & Diwali — Festivals of Light

November is full of light in the darkness — fireworks lighting the sky, diyas burning in windows, the warmth of community against the cold. These prompts share that spirit across traditions.

🔒 5 prompts · 3 characters

Christmas & Winter

Longer nights, warm lights, and the sense that something magical is possible. These prompts lean into wonder without being prescriptive about which tradition you celebrate.

🔒 5 prompts · 3 characters

World Book Day — March

A celebration of stories, characters, and the strange power of a well-loved book. These prompts are for children who love books almost as much as they love adventures.

🔒 5 prompts · 3 characters

Spring & Easter

Mornings getting lighter, flowers pushing through, the return of warmth and colour. These prompts celebrate growth, discovery, and new life.

🔒 5 prompts · 3 characters

Summer Holidays

Long evenings, faraway places (real or imagined), and the feeling that time has stretched to let something wonderful happen. These prompts are for children who have the whole summer ahead of them.
