For Educators
What if your writers could play their way to the page?
Writerly Play uses story theatre techniques, games, and visual thinking strategies to help writers build creative thinking skills and strengthen their writing craft. Through the process, writers gain the social and emotional skills that thoughtful creative development offers: self awareness and self compassion, empathy, a sense of belonging, and the creative confidence that comes from meaningfully being able to contribute.
Bring active learning into your writing classroom.
Writerly Play offers an untraditional doorway into the writing process. Through a variety of games and activities, your writers will take action and tackle various genres of writing. Writerly Play utilizes games to facilitate creative and critical thinking at every stage of the process, from idea generation to idea development, to drafting and revision, and even through the sharing of work.
