What time is it? It’s time to do the WRITE thing!
Calling all young storytellers! It’s time to tap into your imagination, harness your creativity, and unleash your inner writer! Introducing WordPlay, the new video series on Adventure Academy that shows you how to take your ideas and transform them into amazing stories to share with your friends!

—Kwame Alexander
WordPlay is an unforgettable, informative, and incredibly entertaining literary journey. Here’s a sample of what young storytellers can expect!
Through entertaining videos, young storytellers are guided through the writing process and introduced to concepts like word choice, characters and setting, how to revise what is written, how to “hook” the reader, and many other topics designed to help them channel their creativity and express their ideas clearly and effectively.
Each episode is followed by a supporting infographic and a bite-sized animated short, Step Write Up, which digs deeper into one element of fiction or the featured author’s craft.
WordPlay launches in September on Adventure Academy, the breakout learning program where education and play combine to spark a lifelong love of learning and discovery.
Happy writing!
