Stories are one of the most powerful ways children learn. Through storytelling, they build vocabulary, practise listening, express their ideas and make sense of the world. At Leikki, stories and songs are part of every day.
You don’t need special materials to tell great stories – just a little imagination and time together. Try these playful storytelling games at home.
Story Starters
A simple beginning is enough to launch an adventure.
Start a sentence and let your child continue the story.
Put three small objects in a bag and invent a story that includes them all.
Pause while reading a book and ask your child to guess.
Act It Out
Moving and pretending bring stories to life.
Draw the Story
