A joyful first storytelling lesson for Reception children. Little learners meet characters, settings and the beginning-middle-end story shape, practise magic story words like “Once upon a time” and “Suddenly”, and finish by telling their very own story with actions and storyteller voices. It is a ready-to-teach PowerPoint scaffold for an hour-long lesson on storytelling, with a story bag circle-time game and a partner storytelling activity built in. Fully illustrated in a warm, child-friendly style with encouragement on every slide.
