what is a good formula for a kids story?

Posted by admin on July 16th, 2010 and filed under kids story | 3 Comments »

My kid is a 7 year old boy and i am looking to create a little story for him. I am a creative person and have a story in mind but don’t know the format help please!
Parts and ideas.

My mom used to tell me stories about myself. I always knew they were about me, though. Which made me laugh and smile. I also loved the golden oldies. Goldy Locks, Hansel and Gretel, and of course The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf. She also tried contemporary stories, such as Aaron Loses His Hair, Muggly In The Bathtub, and the cute stories about the little critter who looked like a Hedgehog. My favorite story of all time was Billy Goat’s Gruff. Hope this helped!

    Do you mean a format or formula? Like what order the story goes in or what parts/ideas it has to have?

    edit:
    Oh! Well a cool thing like 16 said, make the child the main character. He’d love that! Kids love funny stories too, if you’re going for that. Ridiculous scenarios and unpredictable/against all odds triumphs are good! Things that don’t happen in real life… talking animals, dragons (not too scary though!), the child having special abilities. Again, for a funny aspect, an unusual animal/person such as a purple dog or a bunny with wings. The story should have some kind of conflict possibly with an evil wizard and possibly a quest to straighten things out. The story will be wonderful and creative :)

    Hopefully this helps a bit!

    Beginning – Once upon a time

    Middle – Something fairly scary

    End – they all live happily ever after
