The main use is to RETELL a story. This can be done by the teacher, who uses the story sticks instead of showing the pages in the book.
It can also be done by the pupils in a group, in pairs or individually.
I also like to let the children choose two/three of their favourite pictures, colour & create their own story sticks, and then hold them up when they hear the word in the story.
After the story they can take their sticks home as a reminder of the lesson. Maybe they’ll even talk about it when they get home and remember the language too.
The story sticks can also be used for a game of ‚I spy‘. E.g. I spy, with my little eye, FLOWERS! (children hold up the stick if they have it) & for playing change places in a circle. E.g. Change places if you have got an animal/a bee/honey etc.
Maybe you can think of another use too? Please let me know if you do!
ADVANTAGES OF STORY STICKS
They encourage interaction
They aid language comprehension
They improve listening skills
They revise vocabulary
They keep hands busy
They promote teamwork (if retelling in a group)
I laminated the coloured version so that I can use them many times. The children get the black & white paper version to colour & create themselves.
I hope you have fun retelling and learning the words from my rhyming picture book 'Brown Owl and the Bee Hive'.
