The writing activities offered change with the seasons.
In order to avoid the holiday slide, we offer more activities during the school holidays (summer and winter).
Activities are sent to the parent. YOU must propose them to your child.
Studies show that adult involvement significantly increases a child's motivation.
You are welcome to participate in these activities!
In addition to thematic activities, Troubadour allows children to create as many stories as they want.
Troubadour includes thousands of settings to engage every child: from the aspiring author to the reluctant writer!
Used in schools, Troubadour adheres to the highest cybersecurity standards.
Troubadour allows children to exchange stories in a secure environment, with adult supervision.
87% of teachers who use the game notice a positive effect on writing motivation.

The term "holiday slide" is used to describe the decline in knowledge that children have learned during the school year.
Take advantage of the holidays to let your child write without constraints. This will allow them to explore writing in a different way than they do at school.
If you tell your child that writing is a source of pleasure, but you never see them do it, they will quickly understand that this is not the case.
Writing stories in Troubadour can be a fun experience, even for an adult! If you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to write a short story from time to time.
Children LOVE reading their parents' stories.
Our approach is based on extensive research in educational sciences. We draw inspiration in particular from the work of the Writing For Pleasure Centre, an international reference in the field*.
There is no obligation to introduce the activity to your child. They will discover it when they connect to the platform.
However, by introducing it to them, you show your interest in what they create, and transform each new activity into a special moment!
The research is clear: one of the biggest motivators for writing is knowing that your work will be read.
Encourage your child to write for a friend or loved one, and you will see the difference!
Unlike extrinsic motivation (rewards, recognition), intrinsic motivation arises from the pleasure of the activity itself. More sustainable, it promotes a genuine feeling of accomplishment.
Your child's smile while writing is the best proof: they have discovered the magic of writing.
