What will your child practise?

Tell a story with a beginning, an event and an ending.

What you need

A leaf, three small sheets of paper and pencils.

Step by step

  1. Put the leaf on the first sheet. Give it a name and draw where its journey begins.
  2. Move it to the second sheet. Someone else invents a character it meets and what changes after the meeting.
  3. Move it to the last sheet and decide where it comes to rest. Invite a listener to retell the story from the pictures.
