There Was a young Boy Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything - Christmas Sensory Story/Performance

Christmas Sensory Story for Special Needs. Suitable for PMLD, ASD, SLD and KS 1. Christmas Musical Sensory Story including lesson plan and PowerPoint with audio attachments. The Powerpoint will seamlessly take you through the story. Use the audio attachment until you are confident to recite with your staff. This is a re-telling of the wonderful book ‘There Was An Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything.’

‘Once upon a time, there was a young boy who was not afraid of anything! But one Christmas Eve night, while creeping down stairs in, the little boy heard . . . clomp, clomp, shake, shake, clap, clap.’

Suitable for a Christmas sensory story or as a performance for parents!

The emphasis is upon staff pupil interaction through physical touch, call and response, music and props.

The lesson plan has an easy to follow format. of Do, Say, Play and additional info
In each category it tells the teacher what staff are doing, what the teacher is saying, and what music is playing.
Each ‘scene’ is threaded together using the text/rhyme from the story. The story has an obvious build-up of tension where pupils have opportunities to express their excitement and anticipation.
I am a Drama teacher with over 20 years’ experience teaching SEN including PMLD SLD MLD and ASD. Unlike many sensory stories I focus upon creating tension and atmosphere through light, shadows, music, sound effects and staff call and response.

Most objects can be found around the home or at school but I have attached a shopping list with links to Amazon, making creating a purchase order a little easier.
