DIFFERENT WAYS TO TELL THE SAME STORY

Another funny way for the storytelling is performing it with different people, like this example with the teachers:

Evan our students can tell the story for the rest of the school:

They also can create their own version, like these children:

MY MANY COLOURED DAYS BY DR.SEUSS

“My many colour days” by Dr. Seuss is a book about feelings through different colors and animals. That is why it can be a great story for First grade students of Primary Education as we can work with them some vocabulary at the same time we go into detail about emotions. 

There are different materials or activities we can combine in order to make the story more attractive to them:

Corner for the book: we can have a specific place to paste all the complements: 

Transparent fabric: when we say a new color we show a fabric with the same color and we give it to one of them to watch everything through it.

Animal: when we say the animal we show it and we paste it in a place made for that purpose.

Emotion balloons: than when we finish reading that page we can ask one of them to choose the emotion that goes with that color and that animal.

Mixed feelings person: we can make it with broken crayons and they

can paint with it to do some activity afterwards.
