About this program
Oral storytelling is one of the oldest and perhaps most compelling forms of dramatic and imaginative activity. The engaging and age-appropriate selection of traditional folk and fairy tales of this program opens up a world of adventure and imagination for your students, encouraging empathy, self-reflection, intercultural respect, language development, and active listening. There are simple interactive tales for the very young, wonder tales shining with vivid imagery and remarkable exploits for middle grades and the grandeur of the world’s great epics for older participants.
Note: While all ages can enjoy this material, stories are chosen to be age appropriate. Groups should be divided approximately as follows k-1, 1-3 , 3-6, 6-8, 9-12
