Storyshapes

Where will our story take place today?

The essential tools for Storyshaping, this set of five tactile shapes serves as prompts and visual reminders for the key elements of story structure.

Children work together in a supportive environment to build exciting new tales of their own. The adult's role is to encourage and incorporate the children's ideas and develop the story structure by asking key questions, such as:

• Where does our story take place?
• When does our story happen?
• Who is our story about?
• What is our character's question?
• How can our character find the answer to their question?
