Program

Plunge right in with me as I tell and teach at the same time. Practice great little folktales--some are told with fingers as characters, with repetition and gestures that aid in memory--all FUN and do-able, so families will "take home" stories they've learned orally at this program. Stories such as "Why Thumb Lives Apart from the Quarreling Fingers," (West African);"Why the Moon Gets Smaller," (Australian); "Why Cats Wash After Eating, and more. We stretch, do funny body/voice warm-ups. Perfect for A Universe of Stories theme and workable for the ages of the audience that actually shows up! Not a lecture! This is a voice-on, hands-on, bodies-on technique, so everyone is telling, right away! It only took 20-30 years to have telling and teaching merge.
