Activity 1
Invite students to make up a story using all of the items in the box below.
Tip: Kids ages 5 and under can make up the story as they go (“Umm…then the owl jumps on the car and drives it!”), but starting at age 6 you can challenge them to plan out their whole story before they start to tell it.)
Activity 2
Group activity: Invite students to collaborate on a story by taking turns planning what happens next using the items in the box below.
Activity 3
Find items in the classroom that they could use to create a story. Include a bandaid, hat or coffee mug to make it interesting.
Another Way to Play
Ask the kids if you can have a turn—they’ll learn a lot from seeing how you construct a story!
