Today in the noisy and quiet room the children were keen to act out the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.
First, we decided to read the story to familiarise ourselves with it.
The children enjoyed re-telling their favourite parts in the story.
”Fee-fi -foo-fum! Jack Pott, what have you done?
“Fee – fi -Foo – fum, I smell the blood of a Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I’ll use his bones to grind my bread.”
The children each chose a character to play in the story and we used the props to help us re- tell the story.
“ want to be Jack so I can climb up the Beanstalk”
“ I am the goose that lays the golden eggs, Jack you have to rescue me from the giant”
“ I am Jack’s mummy and I am going to throw the magic beans out the window “
“Quick chop the beanstalk, the giant is after me”
The children had so much fun acting and developing their language skills by expressing various characters dialogue in the story.
They also developed their social skills by expressing their characters feelings and showing respect through turn taking, co-operating and sharing with each other.
Why not give it a try at home and re-tell your favourite story’s or make one up. Have fun! 😊
