Tips:
  • You can tell a story anywhere!
  • Use the childrenès names in the story
  • Using a white board to draw as you tell the story
  • Use animals (the unexpected is fun-- we spoke in the workshop about the educator who told the story about a whale and then had made a water gun spout behind the whale)

Extending activities: Giving children a pencil and paper to draw more about the story..

Things I cannot for the life of me find-- any suggestions: The Man in the Balloon; Man on the Moon

story- a workshop

Hello everyone,

 Here are some links that relate to story telling, some fables, crafts, and stories. 

 If you would recall what was inside the pink bag in our workshop: a pair of binoculars, a magnifying glass and a mirror. I believe the best stories are ones that show us the world (and perhaps by implication, our place in it); what's right in front of us that we might not have noticed because it is so small and close-up, and an aspect of ourselves reflected back to us in the mirror. 

 With that in mind, here are some further resources, in no particular order.

 The success of these experience workshops rest equally with what I bring and what the group brings into the room. This group on Friday was exceptional-- we had a fabulous, fun filled three hour training workshop together. They brought a great sense of humour, playfulness, openess built clearly on respect and trust as professionals working with young children. Here are a few pictures to remember the fun!





Thanks for such a great time!!
Lise-Lotte

If you would like to book an experience workshop on any of our current topics: story, scientific fun, superheroes, or something that I could develop for your group, please contact me at info@partygreen.ca
