Telling family stories: Once upon a time there was a word...

Do this activity to create a story with your family! Each family member participates by adding a word or phrase. What kind of story will your family create? You can write the story or record your family telling it. Work together to create an illustration for the story. You can do this anywhere. In the car or when you are outside.

Why?

Storytelling fosters communication skills and a love of reading. Storytelling allows children to be active, encouraging them to form their own mental images, and in the process, stimulates creativity.
