Notes 
from the          
The Kids' Storytelling Club 

         We’ve made some changes in The Kids’ Storytelling Club website and this new Notes Page is one of them. It replaces the old Parent-Teacher-Leader page with news and information from The Kids' Storytelling Club.

Changes on the Website
            Many of the visitors to The Kids’ Storytelling Club website are new to the world of storytelling, beginners looking for as much information as they can gather as quickly as they can. Some are kids who have just joined a class or club. Others are teachers or leaders who have recently agreed to take charge of a storytelling program. We wanted to give them as much information as possible. So we are now replacing the bimonthly projects with an overview of available information. Look for changes on the Activities, Crafts and Create pages.            

            New Activities Page
                        “If you want to be a storyteller, you must tell stories!” But, WHERE can kids tell stories? WHAT stories can you tell? And HOW?
           There are storytelling opportunities in many places today. Some are part of your everyday activities. Some are special activities. And others are opportunities you will learn to create just for you.             The new Activities Page now gives information on where kids are telling stories and suggests the best kind of storytelling for each opportunity.

            New Crafts Page
                        The new Crafts Page now has lots of ideas for using costumes, puppets, masks, props, signs, toys, crafts, and musical instruments to add a special touch to your story. They all make storytelling a lot more fun for you and your listener.
            You don’t have to learn to play a musical instrument or demonstrate a new craft just because it would make your story more interesting. But, you can use skills or talents that you already have.

            New Create Page
                        Storytelling stories are different from written ones. Written stories are always the same. You may read them many times, but the words will always be in the same order. One event will follow another. Storytelling stories are never the same. A storytelling story changes with each audience to appeal or adapt to those specific listeners. How do you select or create a storytelling story? This page now gives you three secret suggestions.
