You can change anything you want in the story - you don't have to include all the ideas generated in the Story-Starter.

Include your first name, age and county if you want us to be able to credit you and we'll post your story online.

Written submissions must be typed - you can send it in and editable format like Microsoft Word or Google Docs or in an email. Please do NOT send PDFs. Illustrations can be sent as JPEGs.

Scríbhneoirí Bunscoile (Aois 6-12): 'Story-Starter' Fighting Words
Chruthaigh muid an Story-Starter! Tá súil againn go spreagfaidh sé bhur samhlaíocht agus go gcabhróidh sé libh tús a chur le scéal. Is féidir pé rud gur mian leat a athrú sa scéal - ní gá gach smaoineamh ón Story-Starter a chur san áireamh.
Conas a sheolfaidh mé mo scéal chugaibh?
Nuair atá an scéal scríofa agat, iarr ar do thuismitheoir/do chaomhnóir é a sheoladh chuig info@fightingwords.ie. TÁBHACHTACH: Cuir na focail Scéal Bunscoile i líne an ábhair.
Bainigí súp as!
Chun an scéal a sheoladh:
- Ní mór do na hiarratais ar fad teacht ó sheoladh ríomhphoist tuismitheora nó caomhnóra. Nuair a sheoltar scéal chugainn, ceadaíonn tuismitheoirí/caomhnóirí don scéal a bheith foilsithe ar láithreán gréasáin Fighting Words agus ar na meáin shóisialta.
- Seol do chéad ainm, d'aois agus an contae ar as thú má theastaíonn uait go mbeidh siad le feiceáil agus foilseoidh muide do scéal ar líne.
- Is féidir le hiarratais a bheith clóscríofa i ríomhphost nó is féidir grianghraf a sheoladh de scéal atá scríofa le lámh.
- Fáiltímid roimh scéalta i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge.
- Is féidir aon smaointe breise atá agat a chur san áireamh.
- Is breá linn scéalta scríofa a fheiceáil chomh maith le léaráidí, greannáin, dánta... bealach ar bith gur maith leat scéal a insint - tá sé go breá!
