Dive into the magical worlds with these interactive storytelling workshops, where imagination takes centre stage! There are two sessions available, one for KS1/reception and the other for KS2. In both of these sessions, there are ample opportunities for the children to take on roles and engage in a variety of drama activities to bring these celebrated stories to life.
Stories by Hans Christian Anderson (45 minutes, reception/KS1)
Travel back 200 years to the enchanting land of Denmark, where Hans Christian Andersen crafted some of the world’s most beloved fairy tales. Guided by our charismatic storyteller, your children will embark on an exciting adventure to uncover the courage, kindness, and resilience woven into two timeless tales:
- Meet the shy yet brave Ugly Duckling, who inspires us to celebrate our differences and treat others with kindness.
- Follow the tiny but determined Thumbelina as she faces challenges with compassion, proving that even the smallest among us can achieve greatness.
With opportunities to act out scenes, become the characters, and immerse themselves in drama activities, your children won’t just listen to these stories—they’ll live them!
Teapot Tales (1 hour, KS2)
Stories can be found all around. Old stories come to us from all across the world; they travel in books, or on boats, or on whispers in the wind. And new stories appear in small and unusual spots…like a curious old teapot!
Your children will be captivated by our lively storyteller as they bring two folktales to life:
- The Fearsome Giant: A bold tale of a young prince and his kingdom, learning to face a towering challenge with courage and cleverness.
- The Cedar Tree: A story of vanity and self-discovery, where a selfish tree learns the value of community and inner strength.
Through drama games and role-play, children will step into the shoes of the character. These tales encourage empathy, teamwork, and the joy of discovering hidden depths within ourselves and others.
The session concludes with an exciting story-creation activity, sparking your KS2 pupils’ imaginations and empowering them to craft their own magical worlds long after the workshop ends.
