Flash Fiction Hangout: The School Holiday Edition

What if you could turn big ideas into powerful stories in under 100 words?

This is a fast-moving storytelling workshop where creativity is pushed, stretched, and sharpened. Through timed writing sprints, guided prompts, and playful challenges, students learn how to write with clarity, impact, and imagination.

From razor-sharp 6-word stories to expressive 50-word and 100-word narratives, every activity is designed to show how much power words can carry when used well.

Quick, interactive, and idea-driven, this session keeps students thinking on their feet and writing with purpose.

• Turn ideas into striking 6-word stories
• Write short-form fiction in 50 and 100 words
• Respond to fast, unexpected creative prompts
• Explore tone, voice, and storytelling style in real time
• Take part in timed writing challenges and optional sharing

No passive learning here. Students are writing, thinking, and creating from start to finish.

Students leave with more than stories. They leave with sharper thinking and stronger expression.

They learn how to:

• Say more with fewer words
• Structure ideas quickly and clearly
• Write with confidence under time pressure
• Adapt tone and style for different creative goals
• Find inspiration in both modern culture and classic literature

Perfect for students between 11 to 17 years old who:

• enjoy storytelling, writing, or creative expression
• prefer active, hands-on learning over theory
• want to build confidence in their writing skills

No prior writing experience needed. Just curiosity and imagination.
