About Course

Storytelling is a powerful tool to engage children. During storytelling, both the teller and audience actively create images derived from meanings associated with the words, gestures and sounds made. Coupled with simple props and active participation, young audiences stand to gain a wide range of benefits especially in the areas of language comprehension, oracy and listening. In this course, learners will be introduced to storytelling techniques with tangrams and puppets. Tips and techniques for participatory and cumulative story will also be shared. Learners will be able to demonstrate storytelling strategies for preschool audience.
