Once upon a time there was you!
You were looking for something to do,
I said “Write a story that’s full of laughter”
And we all lived happily ever after!
Encourage your child to draw pictures about family events or excursions and keep them in a special. Anyone can tell a story. You just have to stop and think for a while, to let your imagination go to work. What Boxie likes to do is to draw the pictures for his story first, then he gets a grown up to write in the words underneath.
Getting Started:
What are you going to draw for your story? Who’s in it? Your family? Your friends?
What happens in your story? Do you go on an adventure? Is it something you really did? Or are you going to make something up?
Boxie drew a story about his family’s trip to the moon – it didn’t really happen but it was a great story!
Tips!
And you don’t have to do it all today. Keep a folder or scrap book and you can come back for NEXT WEEK’S EXCITING INSTALMENT OF …… YOUR STORY!
