Storytelling & Play Activities

Read the same sentence three times — robot voice, pirate voice, mouse voice. Repetition that somehow gets more fun each time.

Pick three transport cards — train, boat, rocket — and invent a story that uses them all. Where does the adventure go? Only one way to find out.

After reading, build the story's setting out of toys, blocks, cushions or paper. Then re-read a scene from inside the world you've made.

Build a proper blanket den, decorate it with colouring, hang up a certificate, and curl up inside with a book. Reading as an event, not a chore.

Pick a scene, grab whatever props you can find — a tea towel, a cushion, a very willing teddy — and act it out. Bring the book to life.

Design the cover, pick the characters, plan the plot — then tell the whole story out loud. Your child is the author today. No experience required.
