Scripted fantasies are powerful tools that teachers can use to transport children’s minds into a wealth of scenarios, adventures and mysteries. By provoking the imagination, children become curious; they wonder, they generate new ideas and explore possibilities beyond what is expected. 'Beyond the Aegean Sea' can be used with upper KS2 children as part of their exploration of Ancient Greece. The class close their eyes and listen as you take them on a journey in which they themselves play a significant role. Benefits include: ~Build on children’s natural enjoyment of make-believe ~Present opportunities for children to be successful; there are no right or wrong answers ~Help children develop the ability to think creatively ~Stimulate a creative mood in the classroom ~Have fun with thinking and language ~Help develop children’s listening and speaking skills ~Enrich and consolidate learning on a topic ~Ignite and excite imaginative thought ~Introduce new, colourful, descriptive language In addition to the script itself, there are images to show the children beforehand, a slide of questions for follow-up discussion in small groups and a slide of suggested follow-up activities for the children to choose from including writing, role play and art work. Teachers who have used this resource noticed an excitement in the children, including those with learning difficulties. They were keen to share their adventures and there was a noticeable improvement in their confidence to write freely.
