Encouraging children to let their imagination run wild, Emily K. Neubinger offers 40 inventive projects and activities that will inspire kids ages 5 to 12 to express themselves through storytelling. Younger children will love making story stones and a storytelling jar, while older kids will open up and thrive as they embark on guided story walks and inspiring journaling exercises. Sparking creativity while developing a child's love of language, Show Me a Story will kindle a lifelong passion for both writing and telling original stories.
Forty fun and rewarding activities encourage children to shape their everyday imaginings into rich narratives. Doing craft projects specially designed to jump start storytelling, kids draw, play with words, explore the outdoors, and create characters and settings with everything from found stones to rubber stamps. Their crafty play prompts memorable stories that the whole family or classroom will love to hear and read.
