Interview people in your community, from neighbours and shop owners to local heroes, and share their stories. Kids prepare questions, practise active listening, and present what they learn. Builds interviewing skills, empathy, and the ability to tell someone else's story with care.
Ages 6–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Your child interviews someone in the neighbourhood they do not know well. Open questions rather than yes-or-no ones. Notes while the person is still talking. Then a long conversation turned into a short, clear account of what was said.
A kid who can write a clear email, defend an opinion, or hold a real conversation is a kid who will be heard. Writing as a tool, not a school subject.
