Get Active Stories · Grades 2 To 8 · Free To Print
Stories where kids don't just follow the adventure. They move through it.
Get Active Stories put reading, writing, choices and movement in the same activity. A word, a move, a line of story. Then the next one.
Kids who go quiet when you say “write a story” will move through one word, say a sentence out loud, then write it down. One job at a time.
Two are free to print today. More are in the works.
Story 01
The kid picks a word. They do the movement for every letter in it. Then that word goes into the next sentence of their story. Thirty days builds a long story a line at a time. Thirty minutes builds a short one in a single sitting.
What the child does: picks, moves, writes, repeats.
Story 02
A silly story with the words missing and the movements written in. Kids fill the blanks, read it out and act out the moves as they hit them. Reading, parts of speech and a room that will not stay still.
What the child does: fills the blanks, reads it out, acts it out.
Characters, longer adventures and stories a class can run together. We're building them the same way we build everything else: try it with real kids first, keep what works.

Because sitting still is the part kids are already good at.
Movement isn't the break from the work. It's how the kid earns the next word, so the story keeps going.
A blank page asks for character, setting, problem and ending at once. This asks for one word.
Seated, standing, quieter or smaller. The learning stays the same, so nobody sits out.
Print it and run it. No marking scheme, no gym booking, no equipment.
Whether a single run hits the full 20 minutes depends on how long you go and how hard the class works. We say what it can do, not what it guarantees.
The Story Pack has both posters, both movement keys and the printable tracker. Free, and you can run it in the morning.
