…you've come to the right place!
Welcome!
Here at the Kids' Storytelling Club, we have been working hard to improve our website. One big change you'll notice is that we've remodeled our clubhouse. This allows us to put much more online to help young storytellers everywhere.
We've also upgraded our technology to be mobile-friendly so you can easily get our storytelling help anywhere from any device.
What all this means is, if you are…
- a beginning young storyteller needing basic tips
- a more experienced teller hoping to find new ideas
- looking for sample stories, easy props, and helpful advice
- having storytelling questions about adapting to audiences, creating interesting characters, or not making mistakes when telling
- wanting to learn to create and tell your own story
In Our Newly Remodeled Clubhouse
There's online storytelling help created just for the Kids' Storytelling Club. Also there is a sample project from one of our popular back-issues of Junior Storyteller, and content from our print books and ebooks. And we've always been and still are a kid-safe and ad-free site.
Storytelling Ideas Anytime!
In the clubhouse, you'll find many ideas of crafts to make, stories to tell, and places to tell them, and expert help. There's as much on these pages as we might put into a beginner's booklet. And this clubhouse “web-book” is always available, instantly from any device, and may continue to grow as we occasionally add to it. Plus, you'll find free downloads for your personal use, so it's not just one booklet, but more!
In addition to general advice and ideas, you'll find specific help such as:
Our Featured Club Project:
Mystery of Peace
The Kids’ Storytelling Club has been online for 25 years, providing help for young storytellers. We’re celebrating now by featuring a classic project from the early years (way back when our homepage looked like this image!). We think you’ll agree, a good story never goes out of style, so click HERE now to put together pieces of peace and turn story sharing into a storytelling event. And then visit our bookstore page to learn about the book we are working on that will include a new modified version of this project. And you can always check the clubhouse page for what’s new on all the pages, as we will be adding more celebration features across the site throughout the year. Come celebrate with us!
Previous Projects
You can find previous featured projects, such as “Storytelling At Home,” and other fun activities in our Treasure Chest
Future Projects May Include:
Basic Beginner Telling; Dealing With Storytelling “Mistakes”;

Don't Have Time to Tour the Clubhouse Today?
Don't worry! We've invited guests and brought some of our “story dust” out here onto the clubhouse front porch so we can share stories with everyone who stops by.
Throughout our 25 years online, story projects about peace have always been favorites with kids, parents, and teachers. So, we’re giving two, for double the fun! In addition to our featured project, you can click the Junior Storyteller image for another complete project with a craft, activity, and sample story about peace that you can adapt and tell.
And you can visit our guests next to our clubhouse in our Visitors' Lounge. You can then enter the clubhouse from there or return here to join us.

Tell A Story, Join the Club!
When you tell a story, you become a storyteller, part of a long tradition of people who have shared stories to teach or inform, to inspire or convince, to entertain or amuse, or just to plain have fun. We hope the information, ideas, and advice here at the Kids' Storytelling Club helps you create your own stories to tell and helps you find places to tell them in your everyday life. In addition to what you find here online at the Club, you can get more sample stories, creative advice, and detailed craft instructions in our digital and print books, available in our bookstore. Tell a story! Join the fun, today!
