Secret Hideout

The Prompt

Imagine you have discovered the most amazing, secret place in the world – a hideout that only you know about! It could be anywhere: hidden deep in a forest, at the top of a giant tree, behind a sparkling waterfall, or even in a tiny, forgotten corner of your own garden.

Your mission is to describe this incredible secret hideout so clearly that we can almost see, hear, and feel it too. Think about:

  • Where is it? How do you get there without anyone else finding out? Is there a secret path, a hidden door, or a special way to climb in?
  • What does it look like? Use your imagination to describe the colours, shapes, and textures. Is it cosy and warm, or wild and adventurous?
  • What can you hear and smell there? Maybe the rustle of leaves, the sound of a distant stream, or the smell of damp earth and sweet flowers.
  • What do you do in your hideout? Is it a place for reading, drawing, planning adventures, or just being still?
  • Why is it special to you? What makes it your perfect escape?

Use exciting adjectives (describing words) and vivid verbs (action words) to bring your secret world to life. Remember, it's your secret, so make it as imaginative and wonderful as you can!
