Write a short story together — one chapter a week
Five chapters. They write the odd ones, you write the even ones. Bind it.
60 min ages 8–14
How to do it
Week 1: agree on the main character together. Then alternate: kid writes ch.1, you write ch.2, kid ch.3, you ch.4, kid the finale. Read the previous chapter every Friday before writing the next. After week 5, print it on regular paper, staple or three-hole-bind it. Hand-illustrate the cover. Gift it to grandma.
