Storytelling Circle Club (Ages 5–7)

Not at all. No experience is needed, and the club welcomes quiet and chatty children alike. Picture prompts and a predictable routine help every child feel ready, and stories can be as short as three sentences. Confidence grows naturally as children return week after week.

Your child can join any week. This is a drop-in weekly club, and each 30-minute session has its own theme, such as animal adventures or silly fairy tale endings. Nothing depends on earlier weeks, so new learners fit right in.

In every session your child invents a short story with a character, a problem and an ending, sketches quick picture prompts to remember the order, and tells the story to the circle using voice, faces and actions. They also practise listening and asking a classmate one kind question.

Paper and crayons or markers are needed every week. On mystery box weeks, learners also need three small, safe household objects, such as a spoon, a toy car or a sock. A computer or tablet with a camera and microphone is needed to join.

No reading or writing is required. Children plan their stories with quick drawings, such as a cat, a storm and a smiling face, and tell them out loud. Early readers can add a word or two if they enjoy it, but it is never expected.

Possibly, yes. The age range is a flexible guide. A child just outside it may fit well if they can follow simple spoken instructions and are happy to share a short idea out loud. A grown-up nearby to help at the start is welcome, especially for younger learners.

On a weekly plan, cancelling stops future billing, and you can cancel from the class in the parent dashboard. You get a full refund if you cancel before the second class starts. After that, classes already started count as used and classes not yet started are refunded, to store credit or the original payment method. For illness or emergencies, contact support, who review each case.

There is no homework and no certificate. Every story is planned and told during the live session. Families are welcome to ask their child to retell the week's story at dinner, which many children love, but it is completely optional.
