Storytelling Resources
There's a storyteller in everyone, from the very small to the very old and everything in between. We have images & characters from the story Dick Whittington that you can download to tell your very own version.
Here are our top three tips for being a brilliant storyteller:
​
DO YOUR OWN VERSION
-
There are no rules – you can literally make it up as you go along
-
Don’t worry about telling the version that’s written
-
You’ll tell the same story over and over again, but it will be different every time
​
INVOLVE THE AUDIENCE
-
Ask the kids questions!
-
Go with their answers. There are no right or wrong answers
​
BRING THE CHARACTERS TO LIFE
-
Do the voices
-
Be silly!
​
and remember...
YOU ARE YOUR CHILDREN’S FAVOURITE STORYTELLER (BECAUSE YOU FEED THEM!)
