Giant for a Day
The Prompt
Imagine waking up one morning, stretching, and suddenly your bedroom ceiling is miles away! You're not just a little bit taller – you're a GIANT! Your bed feels like a postage stamp, and your favourite teddy bear is now smaller than your fingernail.
What happens next in your colossal day?
- How big are you? Are you as tall as your house, or even bigger, like a skyscraper?
- What's the very first thing you try to do? Maybe get out of bed, or look out the window?
- How do you manage to get dressed? (Perhaps your old clothes are now just tiny scraps!)
- When you step outside, what does the world look like? Are cars like little beetles and people like ants?
- What challenges do you face? (Trying not to step on anything, finding enough food for a giant appetite!)
- What amazing, incredible, or even silly things could you do as a giant? Could you help someone by reaching something high, or play a game of catch with a bus?
Remember to describe what you see, hear, and feel. Make your readers feel like they're right there with you, experiencing life as a giant for a day! Give your story an exciting beginning, a fun middle, and a satisfying end.
