Fright Club

10-18 Years

A creative writing contest to engage your students, teaching them how to write a spooky story packed with atmosphere.

Inspire your students to write spine-tingling mini sagas, stories told in up to 100 words with Fright Club. The fun theme is guaranteed to ensnare their imaginations as they explore what lurks in the shadows. Will they write a scary story with a thrilling twist or a funny tale of things going bump in the night?

The free online resources, including a ready-made lesson plan and accompanying slide deck (also available in Google Slides - select 'Make a copy' to save an editable version), will help you teach your students how to write with tension, atmosphere, and suspense to create their creepy tales.

Use the 8-story starter postcards to kick-start their ideas, taking away the fear of the blank page. Where they take the story after that is up to them!
