Adventure Story Brainstorming

Use the prompts to invent a setting, build a character and sketch a story idea. There are many possible answers; sample answers are provided for open-ended prompts.

Invent a Setting

Choose a place with plenty of possibilities for a story.

1.Which setting would give a young explorer the most exciting place to investigate?
  • A quiet lane with familiar houses
  • A rainforest valley hiding an ancient observatory
  • A sunny playground after school
  • A tidy garden beside a cottage
2.Select every feature that could make a story setting feel adventurous.
  • A trail that disappears into fog
  • A hidden door covered in symbols
  • A curious creature no one has seen before
  • A challenge caused by sudden wild weather
  • A familiar room with nothing unusual happening
3.Invent a setting for an adventure story. In one sentence, say where it is and include one striking detail.

Create a Hero

Give your main character strengths, limits and a useful skill.

4.Write three traits that could help a hero face a difficult adventure.
5.Create a hero by filling in each detail: age; something they are good at; a personal strength; and something they find difficult.
6.What special skill could help your hero get past a problem in an adventure? Explain how the skill would help.

Map Out the Story

Connect the setting, hero and challenge so your ideas can grow into a story.
