The storytelling for children


A condition who someone presents a story to the listeners is called storytelling. Storytelling is also a gentle way to guide young people to build their imagination for constructive personal. Sometimes, a storyteller presents the stories with poetry, music and dance. A storyteller gets the story from books, their own imagination and other storytellers. Stories can connect the cultures, cultural gap, and teach us about life. Storytelling is not only for children but also for adults too. Children can get storytelling from school or at home. Teacher is using storytelling in the classroom. They are many benefits from using storytelling in the classroom. Children can improve listening skill, imagination and activity. As a parent we can be a storyteller to our own children. For example at bed time, at relax time and at family time. When we tell a story to our children do not forget to make a body response to the tale, make the audience believe in you, use silence for dramatic effect, use different voices, and have a concentration. In conclusion, we can use storytelling as communication with children in formal or informal way, and we can get many benefits from it.
