A story starter in one spin
A blank page is the hardest part of writing. Spin the wheel and it hands you the first idea: a door in the bedroom wall, a letter written ten years ago, a robot that wants to become a chef. The rest is yours.
Pick the genres
Forty prompts in five genres. Switch off the ones you do not want today – only mysteries for a detective week, only everyday life for a diary entry.
Ideas for the classroom
- Ten-minute writing warm-up: one spin, everybody writes the same prompt.
- Story chain: each pupil adds a paragraph, then spins for a twist.
- Two spins, two genres: combine them in one story.
Add your own
Add a group of your own prompts – the topic you teach this week, or prompts from the class.
