• The best way to play is to get your children to stand in a semicircle so that they are facing you.
A Tall Tree
• You are the story teller so you need to think of a short story with at least one recurring theme, such as a tall tree or a racing rocket. A Closed Window
• Once you have a story in mind you can pick out a couple of themes and create statue poses for them. Use the statues on this card to help you.
A Small Stone
• Let the children know which words to look out for in the story and what to do when they hear those words. For example, “when I say tall tree, make this statue.” A Barking Dog
• Now it is time to tell the story. Make sure you use the recurring theme a few times to keep the children engaged in the story. To help the children out, you could make the statue shape with them to start with.

Watch out for WEEK TWO: Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Make it Easier:
Use just one recurring theme with a statue shape that is easier to make such as the small stone.
Make it Harder:
Increase the number of themes in the story and encourage the children to create their own statues and stories.
