GET KIDS OFF THE SCREEN & INTO CREATIVITY:

Each section of the workshop begins with a storytelling video that then sends kids off screen to make and play based on the stories they just watched.
FIVE DAYS WORTH of storytelling videos, activities and hands on art and creative writing challenges that will:
-
increase literacy skills

develop communication confidence
-
grow social emotional skills
-
inspire self-directed, off-screen play & creativity
Kids participate in an interactive video telling of a folk tale and then create a fairy tale forest map.
Kids become artists with a creative, story-inspired art project prompt that uses SIMPLE everyday materials.
Kids become storytellers as they complete creative writing and story retelling prompts.

Creative Writing & Retelling Prompts:
The Welcome Story. The same story is included as the opener for each day, so that kids become an "expert" storyteller of this story by the end of the week.
The Day's Story. Each day there is a fresh new folk tale to experience. The videos encourage both deep listening and call-and-response participation from the viewers.
After watching The Day's Story, kids add the main character's house to a map of The Fairy Tale Forest, so that by the end of the 5 days, kids have built a visual representation of where all the characters from each Day's Story live in The Fairy Tale Forest.
Each day after putting the main character's house on the map, kids get a new creative building prompt that will guide them to construct the structure in 3-D using SIMPLE everyday materials found at home!
A creative, hands-on art project to do with common art materials, inspired by The Day's Story.
Kids become authors and storytellers as they use their imagination to make their own stories spun off from The Day's Stories. The prompts have been used by kindergarten and up, though preschoolers could do the pre-writing retelling.
