Examples of Storytelling

2. Making up stories together

one of my childhooD memories ... 

A memory that I can still recall easily from my childhood is from the times that I spent with my father making-up stories together. As a preschool aged kid, I was spending the nights with my father with making-up stories together before going to bed. This was one of my favorite activities as it was giving me the freedom to create my own stories with the help of my father. I don’t think that my father was aware how important it was for my growth.  He was just very into this activity, as it was fun for him too. He would start with a character, it would be a monster, a princess or an animal and we would decide the steps of the story line till we would get to the end. Sometimes it would get too long and my father would unexpectedly finish the story as he liked and I put to bed to sleep.
