| simple activities can capture a whole story |
This workshop will
include activities that can be used to help groups of all ages use language to
explore, enjoy and celebrate their environment. We will play with words: creating stories,
poems, instant adventures and terrible tales. We will explore exciting ways of holding
onto written words with bog books, folded libraries, mapsticks, pop-up
storyscapes and tiny, runaway characters.
A day to enjoy
words, this workshop encourages participants to find “adventures everywhere”...
anywhere. It will offer activities designed to draw inspiration from simple
observation, fostering confidence in participants own skills and encouraging
innovation within supportive activity structures. The activities used will also
allow ideas to merge as a number of short activities flow together to give
longer more intricate adventures
The
activities used here have been tried and tested with family groups, on adult
events and with school children - often in situations where Literacy is an
issue and activities are needed that remove worry and fear and encourage simple
enjoyment of words
