It is necessary to tell stories to your child. Consider these strategies to master the art of storytelling:


1. The length of the story.


The story should not be too short or too long. A short story may not have any lessons, and a long one may be boring and uninteresting. Think about the correct length of your story, remembering who your interlocutor will be.

2. comfortable place


Choose a convenient place to read to a child or tell a story. This will create a good appropriate environment.

3. Correct entry


If you tell a story by heart, tell the child where or from whom he heard it. Tell him what this story has taught him and what he thinks he can teach another child. Try to interest him from the beginning.

4. Correct non-verbal cues


When you tell a story, use the correct gestures and facial expressions. You can also accompany your story with sounds or ask about this child. So the story will be more interesting for the child.

5. Speak loudly but slowly.


Make sure you talk loud and slow enough. Your voice must correctly reflect the emotions in question in the story. Change the tone of voice according to the development of the plot and pause at the appropriate places.

6. Involve the child.


Involve the child in the story, using phrases like: "Do you understand?" You can also suggest that the child determine the moral of the story you just told.

How to playfully teach a child to tell stories.

The best way to teach a child to tell stories is through games. Games with written stories to help you understand the mechanism of their creation. They will also bring much pleasure to you and your child.


1. card games


Card games are used to compose stories. They are suitable for children from 3 years. They use scene cards. In each of them a specific action is written and there is an image that clarifies the content of the action for the child. Using cards, the child makes silly and interesting stories.

This game develops creativity, literacy and communication skills in a child. She teaches the child to express his thoughts clearly when he reads the cards and writes stories. This game also helps the child understand cause-and-effect relationships and develop planning skills.

2. The story with the continuation.


This is one of the varieties of card games with story writing. The child must obtain several story cards from the deck and combine them into a story. In which sequence to use the cards and how to continue the story, the player decides for himself.

This game can be played alone and in a group. This is a good game that can be used by parents, teachers or novice writers. This game teaches the child to listen carefully, to express his vision of the events and to show his creativity.

This game is ideal for parties, extracurricular activities or excursions.

3. cubes

This board game also develops creativity as well. You need to throw cubes with images and compose a story about them. The images in the cubes are mainly associated with travel. This game can also be played alone or in a group.

Fairy tales

This is a game that consists of a lot of images that illustrate traditional fairy tales. Players choose the images in random order. As a result, they can compile the plot of a famous fairy tale or invent their own story with unexpected characters.

Other activities for the development of a coherent discourse.

These classes help your child develop creative skills. They are associated with the creation of stories, which can then be shared with others.

1. Family photo stories

  • Children easily tell stories as innate narrators. Use family photos to tell stories;
  • Look at the pictures with your child and tell them in turn what you see in them. For example, it may be a photograph of a newborn child or a photograph taken at night when there was heavy snowfall;
  • You can also print some pictures of any fun holiday (for example, a birthday, a family holiday or just a holiday trip). Ask the child to restore the sequence of events;
  • Show your child a picture of any event and invite him or her to describe the event;
  • Let the child select 10 photos and place them in chronological order to create a story. You will be interested to see what photos the child will choose.

2. Stories with children's stamps.

  • The use of stamps makes the process of writing stories extremely fun. They awaken in the child creativity and interest in writing;
  • First, you must collect as many sets of stamps as possible (for example, with animals, flowers, vehicles, etc.). It is also good to use different colors for the prints;
  • Make several impressions on a sheet of paper and invite the child to compose a story about these images. You can paint the prints in different colors or draw something to complement your story;
  • When the child makes mistakes in the story, correct them. Thanks to this, the child will develop speech correction. This way of learning is easy and fun for a child.
It is important to develop your own narrative style. Then your story does not seem monotonous to the child. Enjoy what you read or tell your child.

"Telling stories is very important for the child's development. Do not let him miss such a simple but important part of his childhood".
