What Are the Basics of How to Tell a Story?

from here http://www.funfelt.com/storytelling-basics.html

There are commonalities in all Fairy Tales:

1. “Once Upon a Time”
2. A problem or conflict
3. A solution
4. The number “3”
5. “Happily Ever After”

Storytelling Tips:

• Keep your stories simple and short (10-15 min.)

• Use eye contact, voice inflection, and facial expression as much as possible.

• Dramatic pauses are wonderful! You will always get a reaction from your audience!

• Have the children be part of your storytelling process! Use them to do gestures, put pieces on the felt board, make sounds, do dramatic actions and movements, etc.

• Relax, breathe, and play! It’s a fun game that everyone wants to play with you!

• Tell stories in your own words! Just remember a few lines of the plot and feel free to let them come out differently. Inform the children before you begin that you are the Storyteller and they may hear a story that may be a little different from what they have heard before. Let your imagination work. That’s what will create magic, not your fears of memory!

• If you get stuck, simply describe the details of sounds, colors, smells, clothes, atmosphere etc. to make up time. This is a psychological trick because it stimulates your imagination and mental imageswhich are the best ways to trigger your memory. In oral storytelling there are no mistakes! Nobody knows what you are going to say!

How to teach a six year old to tell time

Step1

Show the child how to draw out a clock face. Have him put clock numbers around the paper plate, then fill in dashes to represent the individual minutes.

Step2

Make an hour hand and fasten it in the middle of the paper plate.

Step3

Show the child how to tell time when the hour hand is on the number. This step should be pretty easy.

Step4

Show them how to tell time if the hour hand is in front of the number. Show him several different times on the clock and have him tell him what the hour is.

Step5

Make a construction paper minute hand and attach it on to the clock.

Step6

Teach the kid how to tell time when the minute hand is on one of the big numbers. Once the six-year-old knows to multiply the number the minute hand is on by 5, add the hour hand back in.

Step7

Teach the child to tell time when the minute hand is between the big numbers. To do this, she has to multiply the big number by 5 and add the number of dashes past that number to the minute.
