Ask a Story kids submit topics is open for the next round. Send a tiny idea and Storypie will craft it into a short audio tale next week.
How to enter this week: ask a story kids submit topics
First, decide where to submit. Check the Storypie app or our campaign page for details.
- Open the Get the app page or visit the Ask a Story campaign page.
- Next, ask your child to name three favorite details. These details make adaptation fast and magical.
- Then, write one clear sentence that includes the three details plus a first name or initials if you want credit.
- Finally, send the idea before the deadline for next week. Confirm exact timing on the app or campaign page.
Parental checklist
Also, do a quick safety check before you post. Keep kids safe and happy.
- Use first names or initials only.
- Do not share addresses, schools, or private facts.
- Keep a copy of any release or consent you provide.
- Check whether the story may appear publicly and if you want credit shown.
How to craft a strong topic
Make it concrete. Short and vivid wins every time. Aim for one character, one setting, and one surprise.
Ask your child to pick three favorite details: an object, a color, a sound, or an emotion. Then turn those details into one clear sentence. In 2023, 52% of children expressed a desire for books that make them laugh, marking a 10% increase from previous years, highlighting the importance of humor in children’s literature.
Examples that spark me:
- For younger kids: A fox who learns to fly using a lost kite, loves the color red, and hums a silly tune.
- For middle graders: A tiny bookstore that opens only at midnight, smells of cinnamon, and hides a secret map.
- For older kids: A robot who collects forgotten wishes, keeps them in a tin, and forgets its own birthday.
Why this matters
When children submit topics, the experience builds creative thinking and listening skills. Hearing their idea performed makes them beam. Additionally, approximately 40% of children aged 6–17 reported having difficulty finding books they like, so this initiative helps tailor stories to better meet children’s preferences.
Moreover, the Ask a Story kids submit topics process teaches sequencing: idea, detail, story. That loop boosts confidence and vocabulary. Research shows that 46% of U.S. children ages 6–12 have ever listened to a podcast, aligning with the audio storytelling format of Storypie.
After your story airs
Celebrate the tiny triumph. Record your child describing the idea. Ask them to draw a scene.
- Play the audio at bedtime or on the way to school.
- Use the published story for a short comprehension game. Ask: What would you change next time?
- Share a spark on Instagram with playful hashtags and point families to the Get the app page so they can join the next round.
Ready to try? Submit a tiny idea this week, collect the three favorite details, and watch your child light up when they hear their own story in their ears. It is pure joy in ten minutes and a memory that sticks. Notably, 68% of parents of kid monthly podcast listeners say their children listen with at least one parent, making this a family-oriented activity that enhances the storytelling experience.
