Kids on Brooms

A live, story-driven roleplaying class led by award-winning author Saundra Mitchell

Didn’t get your letter from that other wizarding school? Or maybe you’re realizing now that some British magic academies aren’t exactly known for being welcoming spaces?
Great. You belong here.

In Kids on Brooms, a collaborative tabletop roleplaying game, students attend a new magical school—one built from the ground up to be inclusive, imaginative, and fully theirs. From chaotic potions labs to enchanted hallways with a personality of their own, this world grows with the group each week. No dusty traditions, no gatekeeping, no “only certain wizards allowed.” Just creativity, community, and the kind of magic that celebrates everyone.

Each session is a mix of character-driven storytelling, roleplaying, quick-thinking problem solving, and collective worldbuilding. Students will:

Craft unique magical characters with identities, pronouns, and backstories that matter
-Design their school’s quirks, mysteries, antagonists, and secret rooms
-Collaboratively face magical challenges and emotional dilemmas
-Learn the light, intuitive Kids on Brooms system (perfect for new and experienced RPG players alike)
-Experience a table that is explicitly welcoming to LGBTQ+ students, neurodiverse learners, and anyone who wants magic without the baggage

And because this class is led by Saundra Mitchell—novelist, screenwriter, editor, and longtime advocate for inclusive storytelling—students can expect a game space rooted in affirmation, respect, and genuine fun.

What to Expect Each Week
-A short check-in to ground the group
-An evolving magical adventure shaped by student choices
-Space for roleplaying, humor, emotional beats, and surprising plot twists
No experience with RPGs is required. If your young writer, reader, or daydreamer has ever wished for a magical world that actually feels like home, this is the perfect place to land.

Welcome to your new wizarding school—one that sees you!
