Cartas para armar historias. De uso bilingüe.
"Story Builders" is a creative storytelling activity designed for children and educators to craft unique narratives together. It features 27 original illustrations divided into three categories:
- 9 Characters.
- 9 Objects.
- 9 Places.
How it works:
- Select cards: Children randomly pick one illustration from each category (e.g., Character: Star-umbrella girl, Object: Glowing key, Place: Library).
- Brainstorm together: The educator guides the group with open-ended questions:
- “Why does the girl need that key?”
- “What secrets does the library hold?”
- “How might the objects and places connect?”
- Build the story: Collaboratively weave the three elements into a narrative.
- Options include:
- Writing: Draft a story paragraph by paragraph.
- Drawing: Create a storyboard or mural linking the elements.
- Role-Playing: Act out scenes with improvised dialogue.
Educational goals:
- Creativity & critical thinking: Kids learn to connect abstract ideas into coherent plots.
- Language development: Expands vocabulary through descriptive storytelling.
- Collaboration: Encourages listening, negotiation, and shared decision-making.
- Confidence: Every child’s input shapes the final tale.
Why It’s special:
- Flexible: Adaptable for ages 4–12, classrooms, therapy sessions, or family fun.
- Mindfulness integration: Start with a breathing exercise to focus the group.
- Reggio & Montessori-friendly: Child-led, open-ended, and process-focused.
Perfect for:
- Teachers seeking engaging literacy tools.
- Parents fostering imagination at home.
- Therapists using narrative techniques for emotional expression.
