Storytelling: Questions for parents to reflect on and story re-telling activities

Think about the examples you saw:


✓       What do oral traditions tell/teach children?

✓       Why do you think telling stories to children is important for children?

✓       What do children learn when their parents share stories that are important to them (their personal stories from the past, stories they listened to as children)?

✓       What do children learn when making-up stories?

 

Focus on your experience:


✓       Which oral stories are important in your country?

✓       Which stories were you told as a child?

✓       Do you remember being told traditional stories? Do you remember being told made-up stories?

✓       Where and how did this storytelling happen? Who was involved?

✓       In which way were those storytelling moments important to you?

 

✓       Do you tell stories from your childhood to your child?

✓       Do you tell stories about yourself to your child?

✓       Is your child interested in storytelling?

✓       Is your child curious about family stories?

✓       Do you think it is important to share family stories with your child?

✓       Do you make-up stories together with your child at all?

✓       Which languages do you use when you tell stories to your child?


  can you share a story with the group and at home WITH your child?:


✓       Can you share a story you remember from your childhood with the group?

✓       Can you share a story you know from your childhood with your child at home?

✓       Ask your child to re-tell the story. What can you do to support your child in telling the story?
