Activity 4: Bookshelves

We have created a wall using Pinterest tool where you can find a wide range of books for different ages in which it is written a brief descrption of each one. We invite you to "Pin" in our wall your favourite books for children. With this idea we pretend that our students are able to access to this wall and choose those books they like the most.

Activity 3: Telling a story using an original tool

With this activity we want you to tell a story using an original tool. As you can see in this example, we have chosen origami to tell our story.




There are a lot of tools you can use. Here we provide you some examples of what you can use to create your own stories:

• Puppets using socks:

• Marionette:

• Shadow puppets:

• Painted hands:

• Spoons:

• Cardboard puppets:

• Cake pops:

With this activity we pretend to develop our students' creativity and imagination so, they can take into account that stories do not have only to be told or read, but also they can introduce original resources to make this activity more interesting and funnier. We invite you to use this methodology which attracts children's attention.

Activity 2: Write the end of the story

In this URL you will find a short story of five magic elves. Read the story and write an end for it. What do you think the magic elves will do? You can write as many ends as you can imagine.

Write the end of the story

Reading stories is very important, but also writing them. When kids read stories they are able to imagine new worlds and characters, but we have to give them the opportunity to express that creativity and imagination they have by writing stories. With this activity the topic is already given, and they only need to invent an end for that story.

If you develop this activity with your students in the classroom, then they can read them aloud so they can bear in mind the wide range of possible endings for the same story.
