| I have enjoyed this one! Tell a story and draw stick
pictures as you present it. It is best to draw these
pictures in advance beside your lesson so you will
know what to do and how you want to draw it. The
kids will enjoy this!

| First, do this: tell the story in your own words then
show them the video. This way the kids use their
own imaginations, with your help, before they
actually see it.

| ½se puppets (your teenagers or youth) to present
the story.
| ½se drama (your teenager or youth) to present the
story in script form.
| Changing a few words, add your characters, and
make any story into a skit.
| ½se colored chalk in telling the story and drew
stick people or pictures on the board. Kids
absolutely love it and will request it over and over.

love helping!
| Tell a story using instruments. ñemember the
story DzPeter and the Wolfdz? If you have some kids
that play instruments have them play at certain
places in the story as you are reading or telling it.
 „
 



| Present the story through music.
| Have the kids sing their parts
using a familiar tune
| For example: Tune: Mary had a little lamb. DzOnce
so very long ago, there was a baby, whose mother
was Mary; she traveled to a city far, to have her
baby boy.dz
