Exciting ideas for your story boards

We felt the best way to encourage children to take a more active role in our story area was to provide a resource that could be personal to them. With this in mind we decided to provide the children with opportunity to place themselves into story situations. We also agreed that we needed to find out what makes stories exciting for children so through circle times and small groups we discussed the children’s interests – their favourite stories, favourite television characters and settings/themes of stories that interest them.
