Introduction to Write a Story Using Emojis

There are many ways to tell stories.

Maybe you enjoy watching TV shows and movies, or reading novels, comics, or magazines.

These are all different ways to tell a story.

Another way to tell a story is with a rebus.

In a rebus, some of the words are replaced with symbols or pictures.

You can create a rebus with the same emojis you might use when communicating by text or online.

Emojis are small digital images or icons that express an emotion or an idea.

Writing an emoji rebus story is an exciting way to share a narrative.

Also, readers may have to practice using context clues to figure out which words or phrases your emojis represent.
