Ever fantasised about being someone else? Maybe a superhero catching villains, a detective solving mysteries – or even a bank robber! Write a short story with you as the main character. You don’t have to write much, a page or less is perfect. And remember, the fun is being whoever you want to be!

  1. Pen
  2. Paper
  3. Character suggestions (some ideas in the activity)
