Class Experience
Pretend play is how young children make sense of the world, and story theater gives that play a gentle structure. In this two-week workshop, learners step into well-loved folk tales, trying on characters with their faces, bodies and voices while the teacher narrates.
Each class focuses on one story. The teacher tells it first with pictures and expressive voices, then invites children to act it out together: huffing and puffing like the wolf, stirring porridge with Goldilocks or planting seeds with the Little Red Hen. Children practice big and small movements, happy and grumpy faces, loud and quiet voices, and taking turns. Repeating lines and actions builds listening skills, early vocabulary and story sequencing, all of which support early reading.
The workshop is designed with shy children in mind. Everyone acts at the same time, so no one is put on the spot, and children can join with just a face or a hand movement until they feel ready to say a line. The teacher praises effort, not polish, and grown-ups are welcome to play a character too.
In the last class, each child chooses a favourite character from the workshop and performs a short story show with a simple costume piece such as a hat, scarf or paper mask, ending with a big bow for the family.
How classes work
Classes meet twice a week for two weeks. Each 25-minute session has a warm-up game, the story told by the teacher, a whole-group acting time and a short goodbye circle. Children need a little space to move and one or two simple props.
