This one, the character.
1
00:00:10.905 --> 00:00:13.045
Do you remember our other character?
2
00:00:14.195 --> 00:00:18.005
Then we've got the puppy Solution.
3
00:00:20.005 --> 00:00:23.005
Solution. And then we've got Setting The Setting.
4
00:00:23.215 --> 00:00:27.725
We're done. Laura, worry about character. A character.
5
00:00:27.745 --> 00:00:30.125
Do you want to put your hand in and take the character?
6
00:00:32.985 --> 00:00:36.045
What's the story about today? Who's this? Frog?
7
00:00:36.465 --> 00:00:38.285
Oh, that's it.
8
00:00:38.345 --> 00:00:42.805
So it's a story about a, a green frog.
9
00:00:43.735 --> 00:00:45.285
Let's have a look at earth.
10
00:00:45.285 --> 00:00:47.485
Have we got now the
11
00:00:47.485 --> 00:00:50.485
setting Saskia turn.
12
00:00:50.945 --> 00:00:55.405
Ah, wow. What does this look like? Grass.
13
00:00:55.985 --> 00:01:00.925
It looks like grass does, doesn't it? We lay it down.
14
00:01:01.265 --> 00:01:03.525
Put your hands on it. Let's put it down nicely.
15
00:01:05.775 --> 00:01:09.685
Shall we have a feel? Let's feel. Ooh.
16
00:01:10.715 --> 00:01:14.965
What does that feel like? Dinosaur. What does it feel like?
17
00:01:15.305 --> 00:01:16.845
Ice saw. Eyes saw.
18
00:01:18.345 --> 00:01:22.485
Oh, a dinosaur feels like a dinosaur. Yeah, it does.
19
00:01:23.025 --> 00:01:27.485
It does. Yeah, but love feels like normal leaves.
20
00:01:28.035 --> 00:01:31.925
Does it? It feels like normal leaves because it's soft
21
00:01:31.985 --> 00:01:33.685
and then it goes up like a bump.
22
00:01:33.835 --> 00:01:35.125
It's all bumpy. Bumpy.
23
00:01:35.125 --> 00:01:39.325
Bump it goes.
24
00:01:41.365 --> 00:01:46.325
I know, but how are we gonna start our story?
25
00:01:46.585 --> 00:01:51.085
We going to say once upon A There was
26
00:01:51.745 --> 00:01:52.845
car pine.
27
00:01:53.355 --> 00:01:56.645
Yeah, there was a flock jumping.
28
00:01:57.225 --> 00:02:00.525
Oh, was he jumping right? Then I better put my hand in.
29
00:02:00.995 --> 00:02:05.725
Here we go. Is he jumping high or low? No, low.
30
00:02:08.505 --> 00:02:10.845
Higher. Oh, higher. There we go.
31
00:02:14.305 --> 00:02:17.445
Who will turn? Let's see
32
00:02:17.545 --> 00:02:20.965
how high the frog can jump on the grass.
33
00:02:21.225 --> 00:02:25.765
Are you ready? We are gonna say jump.
34
00:02:25.785 --> 00:02:30.165
Little frog. Jump, jump, jump jump, jump jump,
35
00:02:30.715 --> 00:02:32.765
jump jump, jump, jump.
36
00:02:32.785 --> 00:02:35.485
Little frog, jump, jump, jump,
37
00:02:36.235 --> 00:02:38.165
jump and stop.
38
00:02:39.025 --> 00:02:41.965
Woo. Well done.
39
00:02:42.035 --> 00:02:46.485
Good passing again. Should we sing? Should we go faster?
40
00:02:48.035 --> 00:02:51.445
Jump very fast. Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump,
41
00:02:51.445 --> 00:02:52.525
jump, jump, jump.
42
00:02:52.525 --> 00:02:54.645
Very fast. Jump, jump, jump, jump
43
00:02:55.225 --> 00:02:58.445
and stop your turn.
44
00:02:58.985 --> 00:03:01.245
Is he gonna jump? Is he gonna skip?
45
00:03:01.425 --> 00:03:03.285
Is he gonna run? What's he going do now?
46
00:03:03.465 --> 00:03:07.525
The one skip. He's gonna skip. Go on then Skip.
47
00:03:07.665 --> 00:03:09.805
Get a frog. Skip, skip, skip again.
48
00:03:10.075 --> 00:03:11.525
Skip, skip, skip. Not yet.
49
00:03:12.115 --> 00:03:14.565
Have I got a white? This white.
50
00:03:16.755 --> 00:03:18.365
Tell me. Ready?
51
00:03:19.715 --> 00:03:22.565
Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip,
52
00:03:22.595 --> 00:03:23.965
skip, skip, skip, skip.
53
00:03:24.305 --> 00:03:25.325
What's he going to do
54
00:03:26.385 --> 00:03:27.385
To hide? Go
55
00:03:27.385 --> 00:03:28.605
on there. Shadow me.
56
00:03:31.545 --> 00:03:33.565
Be, oh, look at that.
57
00:03:35.105 --> 00:03:39.645
Oh, now we have, what have we got now?
58
00:03:41.025 --> 00:03:42.025
Dun, dun, dun.
59
00:03:42.995 --> 00:03:46.205
It's a problem. It's a problem. Lara.
60
00:03:46.825 --> 00:03:49.525
Let Lara see what the, she can pull it out
61
00:03:49.585 --> 00:03:52.165
and we can all see what is the problem.
62
00:03:53.475 --> 00:03:56.885
Look, take it out. Ah, a fox.
63
00:03:57.785 --> 00:04:02.765
Wow. Look at this. Who's this? A fox.
64
00:04:03.425 --> 00:04:07.885
Fox. Now I wonder why the fox is a problem for the frog.
65
00:04:10.435 --> 00:04:14.605
What do you think? Small is very small. Now the fox
66
00:04:15.225 --> 00:04:16.445
Is Big, right?
67
00:04:17.305 --> 00:04:19.125
So do you think that could be a problem
68
00:04:19.945 --> 00:04:22.885
If The, if the frog was jumping
69
00:04:24.065 --> 00:04:26.685
and then the fox came along and he didn't see him
70
00:04:26.685 --> 00:04:29.045
because he's very tiny and small, he could
71
00:04:30.565 --> 00:04:31.565
Eat him. Yeah.
72
00:04:31.565 --> 00:04:34.065
Or he could Bite
73
00:04:34.325 --> 00:04:35.325
Him. Yes he could.
74
00:04:35.325 --> 00:04:36.905
Or he could even just fall over.
75
00:04:38.365 --> 00:04:42.065
So the fox was walking along the green grass
76
00:04:43.205 --> 00:04:46.105
and the frog was jumping in the green grass.
77
00:04:46.605 --> 00:04:50.895
You hold the fox, but both of you can hold it.
78
00:04:51.525 --> 00:04:54.895
Hold it together. Now you've got the frog, right?
79
00:04:54.895 --> 00:04:56.575
The frog's jumping in the green grass
80
00:04:57.715 --> 00:05:01.535
and the fox is, what's the fox doing in the gym?
81
00:05:02.165 --> 00:05:04.535
He's eating right? Take him over there to eat.
82
00:05:05.075 --> 00:05:09.415
He is he eating the grass and the fox didn't see the frog.
83
00:05:09.915 --> 00:05:10.915
And what happened?
84
00:05:12.275 --> 00:05:15.055
He ate him. Oh, eat the frog.
85
00:05:17.235 --> 00:05:21.415
Oh, now where's the frog? It's in his belly.
86
00:05:21.715 --> 00:05:22.495
Eat him all up.
87
00:05:23.275 --> 00:05:26.735
Ah. Oh no.
88
00:05:27.195 --> 00:05:28.615
Now that is a problem.
89
00:05:30.755 --> 00:05:33.175
So the last one is
90
00:05:34.155 --> 00:05:35.855
The, The solution.
91
00:05:37.285 --> 00:05:41.015
Lara. Alana, should I say what's in the bag?
92
00:05:42.315 --> 00:05:44.055
So what can we do to make this better?
93
00:05:48.775 --> 00:05:52.195
What's inside? Oh, what is that?
94
00:05:52.895 --> 00:05:54.795
You're gonna put the bowl on the green grass.
95
00:05:56.335 --> 00:06:00.965
So now the fox is eaten the frog. We've gotta hide the frog.
96
00:06:01.035 --> 00:06:05.885
Hide the frog. Laura. Hiding. Now the fox feels very sad.
97
00:06:06.595 --> 00:06:08.285
What? Because he's eaten the frog
98
00:06:08.305 --> 00:06:09.765
and he didn't mean to eat him.
99
00:06:10.785 --> 00:06:13.245
So what's he going to do? How can the frog come back?
100
00:06:14.445 --> 00:06:16.965
I know. How about hiding?
101
00:06:17.105 --> 00:06:18.525
If the fox is gonna cough
102
00:06:19.585 --> 00:06:22.885
and if he start to cough, everybody cough.
103
00:06:30.265 --> 00:06:35.165
Now all of a sudden the fr jumps out of the Fox's mouth.
104
00:06:35.915 --> 00:06:40.685
Fine. And he lands on the grass
105
00:06:41.985 --> 00:06:43.965
and he says to the fox,
106
00:06:45.665 --> 00:06:48.805
Why don't you go And look for some food?
107
00:06:49.565 --> 00:06:54.485
I eaten you. Please don't eat me. I can go
108
00:06:54.485 --> 00:06:55.685
And buy you some food.
109
00:06:55.895 --> 00:06:58.445
Daddy, have you got any money? Yes.
110
00:06:58.825 --> 00:07:03.325
How much I dollars with eggs. Oh, can I have it please?
111
00:07:04.435 --> 00:07:05.645
Okay, thank you.
112
00:07:07.035 --> 00:07:10.885
Then he goes to the shop. Rory's the shopkeeper. Hello,
113
00:07:11.315 --> 00:07:14.805
Rory, could I buy some fox food please?
114
00:07:15.505 --> 00:07:18.245
You wanna hold him? Can I buy
115
00:07:18.245 --> 00:07:19.645
Some fox food Please?
116
00:07:20.315 --> 00:07:23.605
Have you got any in your shop? Mm yeah.
117
00:07:25.795 --> 00:07:27.605
Rice. Thank you
118
00:07:27.715 --> 00:07:28.715
Very much.
119
00:07:28.805 --> 00:07:31.405
I think the fox. Do you think the fox is gonna like rice?
120
00:07:32.635 --> 00:07:35.445
Then? Maybe he won't eat the frogs anymore if
121
00:07:35.445 --> 00:07:36.565
he's got lots of rice.
122
00:07:36.945 --> 00:07:38.525
Oh, thank you Very
123
00:07:38.555 --> 00:07:39.555
Much.
124
00:07:40.385 --> 00:07:41.385
All up. Now
125
00:07:42.705 --> 00:07:43.845
What's he going do now?
126
00:07:44.115 --> 00:07:45.115
He's full.
127
00:07:46.545 --> 00:07:47.545
What's The
128
00:07:47.665 --> 00:07:50.565
Do? Looks like it.
129
00:07:50.675 --> 00:07:52.445
Yeah. What's that box going to do?
130
00:07:53.345 --> 00:07:55.285
Eat With it? No, he is already eaten.
131
00:07:55.635 --> 00:07:58.765
What can he do now? His belly's full. He can
132
00:07:59.615 --> 00:08:00.615
Sleep. Mm.
133
00:08:00.615 --> 00:08:03.045
Who's gonna put him to bed? Let my hand have a go.
134
00:08:03.695 --> 00:08:06.845
Right? Find a nice patch of grass for him.
135
00:08:06.915 --> 00:08:10.285
Look and then we can cover him up. Make him nice and warm.
136
00:08:10.355 --> 00:08:12.085
What do you think? Do you wanna
137
00:08:12.085 --> 00:08:13.525
cover foxy up to her to sleep?
138
00:08:14.085 --> 00:08:18.005
I do. And then you do it, let's say goodnight Fox.
139
00:08:18.515 --> 00:08:20.085
Goodnight. Oh,
140
00:08:20.215 --> 00:08:21.215
Cover him up.
141
00:08:23.025 --> 00:08:25.285
That's it. He needs a good rest.
142
00:08:27.065 --> 00:08:31.165
And the frog jumped all the way home.
143
00:08:31.755 --> 00:08:32.725
Back to the pond.

Hello, welcome back to session two.
1
00:00:15.005 --> 00:00:17.435
Today you are going to start using our resources.
2
00:00:17.815 --> 00:00:21.355
So get ready for creative, fun storytelling
3
00:00:21.455 --> 00:00:23.355
and just wait to be astounded
4
00:00:23.355 --> 00:00:25.235
by the difference you'll see in your children.
5
00:00:25.745 --> 00:00:28.755
Last session we talked about how important it is
6
00:00:29.055 --> 00:00:31.315
to develop quality interactions with children.
7
00:00:31.455 --> 00:00:35.035
In early years Tale's Toolkit has quality interactions at
8
00:00:35.035 --> 00:00:36.875
the core of everything we develop.
9
00:00:37.095 --> 00:00:40.915
So throughout today's training, keep in mind those top tips.
10
00:00:41.935 --> 00:00:44.475
Let the child lead tune in.
11
00:00:44.905 --> 00:00:48.315
Careful use of language, careful use of questioning.
12
00:00:48.575 --> 00:00:52.355
By the end of today's training, I want you to understand how
13
00:00:52.355 --> 00:00:56.315
to tell a simple story and how tell toolkit develop skills.
14
00:00:57.145 --> 00:00:59.835
Part one, how to tell a simple story.
15
00:01:00.365 --> 00:01:03.675
Today we're going to be showing you the first of the Tales,
16
00:01:03.675 --> 00:01:06.595
toolkit, resources, and there's lots more to come,
17
00:01:07.015 --> 00:01:10.835
but using our Tales toolkit, big kit is the first step
18
00:01:10.835 --> 00:01:13.315
to set children up as creative storytellers.
19
00:01:13.655 --> 00:01:17.835
The big kit comes with four large bags with Velcro seals,
20
00:01:18.135 --> 00:01:20.675
so they're safe for even the youngest children to use.
21
00:01:21.135 --> 00:01:23.755
And these come with an outer bag so
22
00:01:23.755 --> 00:01:25.875
that you can hang the whole lot up in the cupboard
23
00:01:26.055 --> 00:01:28.195
so your special bits don't go walkabout.
24
00:01:28.615 --> 00:01:31.315
The four Velcro bags are labeled with the symbols.
25
00:01:31.745 --> 00:01:35.955
Character setting problem Solution.
26
00:01:36.445 --> 00:01:37.915
These symbols are key.
27
00:01:38.185 --> 00:01:41.235
They're on all of our resources and are really clear.
28
00:01:41.375 --> 00:01:44.435
So very young children, those with little language
29
00:01:44.775 --> 00:01:47.555
and not yet reading are able to recognize them.
30
00:01:48.035 --> 00:01:50.875
Children are encouraged to pull different items from the
31
00:01:50.875 --> 00:01:53.635
bags and together you create stories
32
00:01:54.055 --> 00:01:56.355
and bring them to life as in action.
33
00:01:56.775 --> 00:01:59.355
Voices and sounds. Tales talk.
34
00:01:59.455 --> 00:02:02.795
Its symbols shown while saying the words character
35
00:02:03.105 --> 00:02:04.515
setting problem.
36
00:02:05.395 --> 00:02:06.835
Solution are quickly learned
37
00:02:06.855 --> 00:02:08.755
by children working at different levels.
38
00:02:09.305 --> 00:02:11.995
This repetition of words, symbols,
39
00:02:12.175 --> 00:02:15.715
and story strengthen those neural pathways in the brain
40
00:02:15.815 --> 00:02:18.555
and they become really easy to remember pegs
41
00:02:18.555 --> 00:02:20.715
for the children to hang stories on. So what
42
00:02:20.725 --> 00:02:23.915
Tales Toolkit offers is a framework
43
00:02:24.455 --> 00:02:28.955
for supporting children's first steps in making up stories,
44
00:02:29.995 --> 00:02:34.355
imaginative play, putting ideas together and into sequences.
45
00:02:34.815 --> 00:02:37.635
And that sort of framework can be hugely
46
00:02:37.635 --> 00:02:38.755
helpful to children.
47
00:02:39.105 --> 00:02:42.035
This is a powerful tool giving the children freedom
48
00:02:42.215 --> 00:02:44.275
to create stories with familiar items.
49
00:02:44.825 --> 00:02:46.595
Introduce the bags to the children.
50
00:02:47.135 --> 00:02:50.115
So today we are not gonna tell a story using a book.
51
00:02:50.465 --> 00:02:53.395
What we gonna use? Storytelling.
52
00:02:53.575 --> 00:02:55.675
We are gonna do storytelling with their bags,
53
00:02:55.825 --> 00:02:56.835
with our tells toolkit.
54
00:02:56.945 --> 00:02:59.325
Bags, don't worry too much about the children.
55
00:02:59.805 --> 00:03:01.005
Remembering the names of the bags.
56
00:03:01.385 --> 00:03:03.205
The symbols and the story structure.
57
00:03:03.435 --> 00:03:04.885
This will develop over time.
58
00:03:05.145 --> 00:03:07.765
As the children become familiar with how the bags are used,
59
00:03:07.795 --> 00:03:10.845
encourage the children to say the names of the bags with you
60
00:03:11.185 --> 00:03:13.605
and they'll quickly pick this up. Should we do it
61
00:03:13.805 --> 00:03:14.805
Together?
62
00:03:15.035 --> 00:03:17.605
Character setting,
63
00:03:18.595 --> 00:03:20.885
problem solution.
64
00:03:21.335 --> 00:03:22.685
Start with the character bag.
65
00:03:22.915 --> 00:03:26.205
Character. Is this our character bag? Yeah, yeah.
66
00:03:26.625 --> 00:03:27.725
Choose one of the children
67
00:03:27.905 --> 00:03:29.405
to pull a character from the bag
68
00:03:29.905 --> 00:03:32.365
and at the start you take control of the props,
69
00:03:32.575 --> 00:03:35.205
especially in larger groups as its key.
70
00:03:35.425 --> 00:03:38.485
You bring the stories to life, make the character talk,
71
00:03:39.155 --> 00:03:43.285
move dance, modeling this before the children have a go.
72
00:03:43.285 --> 00:03:45.805
Encourage the children to tell you about the character.
73
00:03:46.485 --> 00:03:49.605
Remember though careful use of questioning. Hmm.
74
00:03:49.685 --> 00:03:52.405
I wonder who this is. I'd like to know their name.
75
00:03:52.785 --> 00:03:55.245
You might want to use story language here.
76
00:03:55.715 --> 00:03:56.805
Keep stories simple.
77
00:03:57.195 --> 00:03:58.485
Just chat about one
78
00:03:58.625 --> 00:04:00.965
or two things that the character likes to do.
79
00:04:01.355 --> 00:04:02.965
Next, introduce the setting.
80
00:04:03.255 --> 00:04:05.445
Shall we look in the setting bag to see
81
00:04:05.445 --> 00:04:07.965
where our character is going today? Adam
82
00:04:07.995 --> 00:04:09.325
Said it's a very sparkly place.
83
00:04:09.325 --> 00:04:10.685
Where could it be? Uh,
84
00:04:11.305 --> 00:04:13.845
It could be in the garden.
85
00:04:14.395 --> 00:04:18.925
This one is on GL. Shop
86
00:04:20.825 --> 00:04:22.925
The glitter shop And model your thinking.
87
00:04:23.545 --> 00:04:25.285
Ooh, the material is green.
88
00:04:25.465 --> 00:04:27.285
I'm trying to think of a place that's green.
89
00:04:27.785 --> 00:04:30.325
And you might need to give them support if they find it
90
00:04:30.325 --> 00:04:33.205
tricky, then talk about what the character will do here.
91
00:04:33.555 --> 00:04:36.925
Soar and a teddy bear went to the kit shop
92
00:04:37.105 --> 00:04:38.725
and what do you think she did at the kit shop?
93
00:04:39.145 --> 00:04:41.565
The setting fabric is spread out in the center
94
00:04:41.585 --> 00:04:44.365
of the group and you can use the fabric like a parachute
95
00:04:44.665 --> 00:04:47.405
to bounce the character or make waves for the sea.
96
00:04:47.585 --> 00:04:50.005
And the characters having a great time
97
00:04:50.605 --> 00:04:55.205
enjoying themselves when, oh no a problem.
98
00:04:56.565 --> 00:05:00.005
Children love this phrase, so make a big deal outta this
99
00:05:00.505 --> 00:05:03.165
Dun dun dun. A problem.
100
00:05:03.515 --> 00:05:05.405
Encourage the children to tell you why
101
00:05:05.405 --> 00:05:06.485
the prop is a problem.
102
00:05:07.125 --> 00:05:09.965
Hmm. I'm trying to think why this is a problem
103
00:05:10.425 --> 00:05:12.925
and have lots of fun acting it out together.
104
00:05:13.225 --> 00:05:15.685
Ask the children if they have any suggestions of
105
00:05:15.705 --> 00:05:16.805
how to solve the problem.
106
00:05:17.225 --> 00:05:20.605
How can we help and always have a go at solving the problem
107
00:05:20.885 --> 00:05:22.885
together before using the solution bag.
108
00:05:23.225 --> 00:05:24.965
And when you come across obstacles
109
00:05:25.265 --> 00:05:29.245
and nothing seems to work, let's look in the solution bag
110
00:05:29.265 --> 00:05:31.125
to see if there's anything to help.
111
00:05:31.725 --> 00:05:33.485
Hmm, I wonder how this will help.
112
00:05:33.825 --> 00:05:35.645
How will it help to solve the problem?
113
00:05:36.305 --> 00:05:37.925
And when you come to the end of the story
114
00:05:38.585 --> 00:05:40.325
and the problem is solved, finish
115
00:05:40.325 --> 00:05:43.365
with they lived happily ever after.
116
00:05:43.985 --> 00:05:45.845
You are already to tell a tales,
117
00:05:45.845 --> 00:05:47.365
talk it story with your children.
118
00:05:48.105 --> 00:05:49.805
Now let us think about the kind
119
00:05:49.805 --> 00:05:51.885
of things we can put inside the bags.
120
00:05:52.195 --> 00:05:54.285
Some teachers only add one item
121
00:05:54.425 --> 00:05:56.685
to each bag when they first tell stories
122
00:05:57.225 --> 00:05:59.485
so they know exactly what is coming out.
123
00:05:59.655 --> 00:06:01.125
Other teachers add three
124
00:06:01.225 --> 00:06:02.925
or four items to each bag
125
00:06:03.265 --> 00:06:05.165
so the children can put their hands in
126
00:06:05.225 --> 00:06:08.445
and feel different textures before pulling a prop out.
127
00:06:08.785 --> 00:06:11.285
If you add three or four items to the bags,
128
00:06:11.585 --> 00:06:13.725
you can tell lots of stories without having
129
00:06:13.725 --> 00:06:15.685
to change the resources inside.
130
00:06:16.065 --> 00:06:18.845
To begin, we recommend you use obvious props,
131
00:06:19.225 --> 00:06:21.205
things you can easily tell a story
132
00:06:21.205 --> 00:06:23.525
with without stretching your imagination.
133
00:06:23.905 --> 00:06:27.165
As the children become used to the structure, add items
134
00:06:27.275 --> 00:06:28.805
that will extend their thinking.
135
00:06:29.305 --> 00:06:32.085
So why is a baby a problem or a fairy?
136
00:06:32.585 --> 00:06:35.045
The bag that children find most difficult
137
00:06:35.225 --> 00:06:36.245
is the setting bag.
138
00:06:37.265 --> 00:06:39.445
At first, we recommend you use fabric,
139
00:06:39.735 --> 00:06:41.965
which it can be touched, moved,
140
00:06:42.475 --> 00:06:45.405
used like a parachute stretched to cover the floor,
141
00:06:45.465 --> 00:06:47.405
to give you room to act out your story.
142
00:06:48.225 --> 00:06:51.965
Use simple colors to start that depict obvious settings.
143
00:06:52.465 --> 00:06:56.005
So blue for the Seaside River or an ice palace.
144
00:06:56.695 --> 00:06:58.685
Green for the forest or mountain.
145
00:06:59.235 --> 00:07:01.965
Keep tricky fabrics such as red or purple
146
00:07:02.305 --> 00:07:03.685
and complicated patterns
147
00:07:03.945 --> 00:07:06.245
for when children are familiar with the story structure.
148
00:07:06.785 --> 00:07:10.965
You can also use large sheets of colored and pattern paper
149
00:07:11.505 --> 00:07:14.085
and wallpaper samples at the start.
150
00:07:14.485 --> 00:07:15.685
Children's stories are repetitive
151
00:07:16.265 --> 00:07:19.445
and the same storylines will emerge time and time again.
152
00:07:20.475 --> 00:07:22.125
It's important to continue
153
00:07:22.145 --> 00:07:24.005
to let the children lead the stories.
154
00:07:24.745 --> 00:07:28.005
In one school, the problem was always biting monsters.
155
00:07:28.555 --> 00:07:33.245
Cats, monkeys always biting. You are the facilitator.
156
00:07:33.705 --> 00:07:36.525
So challenge the thinking with the objects that you provide.
157
00:07:37.185 --> 00:07:41.125
Add something that doesn't bite a magic wand or a feather.
158
00:07:41.915 --> 00:07:43.765
Once children are familiar with the structure,
159
00:07:44.035 --> 00:07:48.125
then add open-ended imagination provoking items
160
00:07:48.625 --> 00:07:50.845
and absolutely anything can be used
161
00:07:51.025 --> 00:07:52.565
and we really mean anything.
162
00:07:55.855 --> 00:07:58.565
Hello, this is Howie Says hello, it's Howie Shakes hands.
163
00:07:58.815 --> 00:08:00.485
Hello. How
164
00:08:01.985 --> 00:08:04.445
Put things in the kit that link to their interests.
165
00:08:05.285 --> 00:08:08.245
Favorite characters like Spider-Man, Elsa
166
00:08:08.385 --> 00:08:11.085
or Lightning McQueen, their favorite toys
167
00:08:11.865 --> 00:08:13.685
and even a picture of themselves
168
00:08:13.785 --> 00:08:17.045
or their teacher, whatever, will hold their interest
169
00:08:17.265 --> 00:08:18.965
and raise the levels of engagement
170
00:08:19.385 --> 00:08:21.045
and make links with the cultures
171
00:08:21.045 --> 00:08:22.325
of your children's families.
172
00:08:22.745 --> 00:08:25.685
So different cooking items and fabrics
173
00:08:25.945 --> 00:08:27.765
and things that the children will see at home.
174
00:08:28.225 --> 00:08:29.965
If they are interested in Minecraft
175
00:08:29.965 --> 00:08:32.365
or Angry Birds like Jacob for example,
176
00:08:32.415 --> 00:08:33.885
he'll bring it into his stories,
177
00:08:34.065 --> 00:08:36.725
but then he'll extend it to something that he hasn't seen
178
00:08:37.065 --> 00:08:38.285
or hasn't experienced.
179
00:08:38.585 --> 00:08:40.325
And he's realizing that those things
180
00:08:40.325 --> 00:08:41.685
that are really familiar and favored
181
00:08:41.685 --> 00:08:43.925
to him can actually be extended.
182
00:08:44.705 --> 00:08:47.725
So we've talked about how to use Tales Toolkit
183
00:08:48.145 --> 00:08:49.525
to tell a simple story.
184
00:08:50.025 --> 00:08:54.285
In part two, we'll discuss how Tales toolkit develop skills.
185
00:08:54.785 --> 00:08:57.965
Before we go any further, I want to introduce you
186
00:08:57.965 --> 00:09:01.085
to the Tales Toolkit principles that will help you
187
00:09:01.085 --> 00:09:04.285
to provide quality interactions using our resources.
188
00:09:05.055 --> 00:09:07.365
These will be used right across our training
189
00:09:07.705 --> 00:09:09.525
and you'll become really familiar with them.
190
00:09:10.105 --> 00:09:12.845
And the principles are Safe, space
191
00:09:13.955 --> 00:09:15.805
Child-led, and fun.
192
00:09:16.145 --> 00:09:18.085
The first principle is Safe space.
193
00:09:18.865 --> 00:09:22.045
And the two things to think about are value all answers
194
00:09:22.545 --> 00:09:23.805
and take away the pressure.
195
00:09:24.065 --> 00:09:28.285
So value all answers when using Tell's toolkit value.
196
00:09:28.805 --> 00:09:32.525
Whatever the child gives, let them explore their ideas.
197
00:09:33.305 --> 00:09:35.165
No idea or suggestion is wrong.
198
00:09:35.395 --> 00:09:36.445
What do you think Sarah?
199
00:09:36.465 --> 00:09:40.525
The teddy bear likes to do Running. Running.
200
00:09:40.945 --> 00:09:43.525
Oh, should we get our legs ready?
201
00:09:44.305 --> 00:09:47.005
Sit on your bottoms, get your legs ready. Oh, you ready?
202
00:09:47.885 --> 00:09:48.925
I love to run.
203
00:09:51.555 --> 00:09:53.325
This is particularly important
204
00:09:53.585 --> 00:09:55.845
for the children we spoke about in session one,
205
00:09:55.905 --> 00:09:57.925
who hear mainly discouragement at home.
206
00:09:58.075 --> 00:09:59.845
Initially they lack confidence,
207
00:09:59.945 --> 00:10:02.205
but as they see all answers are valued,
208
00:10:02.335 --> 00:10:04.965
their confidence will grow and involvement will increase
209
00:10:05.145 --> 00:10:06.645
and take away the pressure.
210
00:10:07.265 --> 00:10:08.645
Let your children engage
211
00:10:08.675 --> 00:10:10.925
with Tell's toolkit at their own pace
212
00:10:11.345 --> 00:10:13.525
and observe for as long as they need to.
213
00:10:13.975 --> 00:10:16.885
Often children join in with actions and sounds
214
00:10:17.265 --> 00:10:19.165
and build up to offering an idea.
215
00:10:19.395 --> 00:10:22.045
This is okay. It's really important.
216
00:10:22.265 --> 00:10:25.525
Tell's Toolkit is a safe space where the pressure of having
217
00:10:25.525 --> 00:10:26.925
to interact is removed.
218
00:10:27.985 --> 00:10:30.165
And as children grow in confidence,
219
00:10:30.345 --> 00:10:32.845
you'll be amazed at the ideas that emerge.
220
00:10:33.425 --> 00:10:35.645
The next principle is child led.
221
00:10:36.305 --> 00:10:40.125
The key elements here are step back and add thinking.
222
00:10:40.865 --> 00:10:44.645
So step back. The stories are created by the children.
223
00:10:45.755 --> 00:10:47.645
Your role is facilitator,
224
00:10:47.985 --> 00:10:49.765
But Ibrahim, what have you made?
225
00:10:50.405 --> 00:10:52.005
A crane. A crane. A crane.
226
00:10:52.895 --> 00:10:54.045
Don't expect your children
227
00:10:54.145 --> 00:10:56.565
to be imaginative storytellers overnight.
228
00:10:57.235 --> 00:10:59.525
It's really important you give them time
229
00:10:59.585 --> 00:11:00.725
to develop their stories.
230
00:11:01.465 --> 00:11:04.525
In the same way children reread stories over
231
00:11:04.625 --> 00:11:07.885
and over again, then they may revisit themes in their
232
00:11:07.935 --> 00:11:08.965
tells toolkit stories.
233
00:11:09.115 --> 00:11:10.525
There's gonna be small steps
234
00:11:10.525 --> 00:11:12.845
that happen over time and add thinking.
235
00:11:13.395 --> 00:11:15.925
Your role is to run with the children's ideas.
236
00:11:16.795 --> 00:11:18.885
Encourage them to deepen their thinking
237
00:11:19.225 --> 00:11:22.165
and provoke curiosity through the resources you add
238
00:11:22.185 --> 00:11:23.725
and the language you use.
239
00:11:24.435 --> 00:11:27.005
Leon have Lady Bird's got big or small voices?
240
00:11:27.825 --> 00:11:30.405
Big, big, Big. Do you think Gaston's got a big voice?
241
00:11:30.595 --> 00:11:31.645
Yeah. Okay. This
242
00:11:31.675 --> 00:11:32.675
Ones voice. Well,
243
00:11:32.675 --> 00:11:35.045
the lady bird in the story we've read has got a
244
00:11:35.045 --> 00:11:37.045
really little voice, but this one's got big wings.
245
00:11:37.045 --> 00:11:39.005
So do you think she might have a big voice too? Yeah.
246
00:11:39.865 --> 00:11:42.245
Are you ready? Could you help her to join in
247
00:11:42.245 --> 00:11:43.565
to say shoe to the cow?
248
00:11:43.905 --> 00:11:45.885
And this links with the three a's
249
00:11:45.885 --> 00:11:47.005
we discussed last session.
250
00:11:48.135 --> 00:11:52.695
Allow, adapt, add, allow the children
251
00:11:52.795 --> 00:11:56.565
to take the lead in their stories, adapt the resources
252
00:11:56.625 --> 00:11:57.925
to fit their interests.
253
00:11:58.305 --> 00:12:01.085
Topics you're covering and challenge ideas
254
00:12:01.745 --> 00:12:03.845
and add language to extend
255
00:12:03.865 --> 00:12:06.525
and get the children thinking, Hmm, I wonder
256
00:12:06.705 --> 00:12:08.285
how ooh, what if?
257
00:12:09.105 --> 00:12:12.965
And the last principle and my favorite is fun.
258
00:12:13.505 --> 00:12:16.045
The key elements here are allow silly
259
00:12:16.095 --> 00:12:17.885
ideas and get involved.
260
00:12:18.225 --> 00:12:21.085
So allow or even encourage silly ideas.
261
00:12:21.545 --> 00:12:24.245
If the char decides the character's name is poo
262
00:12:24.245 --> 00:12:25.485
head, then go with it.
263
00:12:26.185 --> 00:12:28.445
You know your children and are the best judge
264
00:12:28.445 --> 00:12:30.365
of when they need pulling back in
265
00:12:30.625 --> 00:12:33.325
and how much you can be silly with them. No right
266
00:12:33.825 --> 00:12:36.845
Or wrong way of step of telling a story.
267
00:12:37.715 --> 00:12:40.745
It's the more fun you make it,
268
00:12:40.885 --> 00:12:42.865
the more spontaneous you make it.
269
00:12:43.965 --> 00:12:48.225
The more silly, even the nonsensical side
270
00:12:48.225 --> 00:12:49.345
of the storytelling.
271
00:12:50.005 --> 00:12:51.865
That's what makes it unique.
272
00:12:52.165 --> 00:12:55.465
And get involved in their ideas. Be active.
273
00:12:56.085 --> 00:12:59.265
Use silly voices model and join in with actions.
274
00:13:00.205 --> 00:13:02.945
In one story, the solution was being flushed down the toilet
275
00:13:03.365 --> 00:13:06.105
and we had lots of fun making whoing noises
276
00:13:06.205 --> 00:13:07.665
and spinning around together.
277
00:13:07.675 --> 00:13:09.185
Pretending to be flushed away.
278
00:13:09.525 --> 00:13:12.065
Tell's toolkit, developed quality interactions
279
00:13:12.065 --> 00:13:15.265
with the children leading to improvements in language,
280
00:13:15.915 --> 00:13:17.905
creativity, and social skills.
281
00:13:18.365 --> 00:13:21.145
We are going to explore now how the three principles
282
00:13:21.485 --> 00:13:24.465
of a safe space letting the child lead
283
00:13:24.845 --> 00:13:26.745
and fun fit with this.
284
00:13:28.465 --> 00:13:31.045
So using tell's toolkit to develop language,
285
00:13:31.455 --> 00:13:32.885
let's start with safe space.
286
00:13:34.115 --> 00:13:36.005
Take away the pressure to join in.
287
00:13:37.045 --> 00:13:38.485
Children are at different stages
288
00:13:38.985 --> 00:13:41.645
and they don't have to use words to communicate.
289
00:13:42.315 --> 00:13:47.005
They can listen, watch and join in with actions and gesture
290
00:13:47.545 --> 00:13:49.805
and build up to using sounds and words.
291
00:13:50.475 --> 00:13:55.165
Make sure you provide lots of opportunities for action, song
292
00:13:55.545 --> 00:13:56.805
and sound so
293
00:13:56.805 --> 00:13:59.245
that all children at different levels can join in.
294
00:13:59.585 --> 00:14:02.685
Let the Child Lead using tell's toolkit,
295
00:14:03.125 --> 00:14:06.005
children can tell stories with very low levels of language.
296
00:14:06.685 --> 00:14:09.085
I saw, I saw, wow.
297
00:14:09.745 --> 00:14:13.725
Oh a dinosaur feels like a dinosaur. Yeah, it does
298
00:14:14.175 --> 00:14:15.325
Enter into their stories.
299
00:14:15.985 --> 00:14:18.485
And you can add vocab slowly over time.
300
00:14:19.405 --> 00:14:21.845
Strengthening and firing up those brain pathways.
301
00:14:23.545 --> 00:14:28.045
Wet green grass. Oscar. Sloppy.
302
00:14:29.245 --> 00:14:33.245
Sloppy. I like that one. That story sounds amazing.
303
00:14:33.905 --> 00:14:37.165
So Gased on the lady Bird. Ooh.
304
00:14:37.395 --> 00:14:40.645
Looking for a fence in the wet,
305
00:14:41.325 --> 00:14:43.165
sloppy green grass.
306
00:14:43.815 --> 00:14:47.085
Using tell's toolkit with a little scaffolding, children
307
00:14:47.155 --> 00:14:48.485
with very low language
308
00:14:48.785 --> 00:14:51.045
and understanding can tell a basic story
309
00:14:51.865 --> 00:14:52.865
In the snow.
310
00:14:52.945 --> 00:14:56.645
The snow. Okay. Problem. Problem.
311
00:15:01.505 --> 00:15:04.245
Wow. It's a dragon. A dragon. Oh no.
312
00:15:05.755 --> 00:15:07.525
When you follow the Chads lead
313
00:15:07.705 --> 00:15:11.005
and interests didn you really up the levels of engagement
314
00:15:11.345 --> 00:15:13.805
and hit all three points at the roots
315
00:15:13.825 --> 00:15:15.085
of the communication tree.
316
00:15:15.455 --> 00:15:18.565
Using tell's toolkit and fun.
317
00:15:19.675 --> 00:15:21.525
Have fun with language and sounds.
318
00:15:22.305 --> 00:15:24.005
Use silly noises and sound effects
319
00:15:35.625 --> 00:15:37.525
and use your voice to add to the story.
320
00:15:37.825 --> 00:15:42.165
So a grumpy voice or an accent like a pirate. Hey,
321
00:15:42.295 --> 00:15:43.295
Hello everybody.
322
00:15:43.425 --> 00:15:45.605
My name is Pepper Big.
323
00:15:47.975 --> 00:15:49.005
Using tell's toolkit,
324
00:15:49.145 --> 00:15:50.605
you'll see an improvement in the
325
00:15:50.765 --> 00:15:51.925
children's language development.
326
00:15:52.515 --> 00:15:57.085
This was the first story from a nursery boy is the Dragon.
327
00:15:58.185 --> 00:16:00.845
And after just a few weeks of using Tell's toolkit,
328
00:16:01.075 --> 00:16:02.525
this was the story that he told
329
00:16:03.875 --> 00:16:08.445
once upon a time their crocodile in a sparkly house.
330
00:16:09.425 --> 00:16:13.365
The problem was bear the bear sad crocodile.
331
00:16:14.145 --> 00:16:15.205
The bear share glasses
332
00:16:15.745 --> 00:16:19.685
and share friends tells toolkit also develops creativity.
333
00:16:20.305 --> 00:16:22.005
So let's start with safe space.
334
00:16:22.955 --> 00:16:24.725
When there are no wrong answers
335
00:16:25.185 --> 00:16:28.325
and children are free to explore their own story ideas,
336
00:16:28.875 --> 00:16:32.765
they will increasingly come up with imaginative, unusual,
337
00:16:33.425 --> 00:16:36.245
and seemingly random ideas which they know
338
00:16:36.245 --> 00:16:37.405
will be taken seriously.
339
00:16:38.395 --> 00:16:42.005
It's the grass is beautiful. Colored grass isn't
340
00:16:43.045 --> 00:16:45.285
A farm it nonsense land.
341
00:16:46.705 --> 00:16:49.725
It could be nonsense land. Yeah. What do you think?
342
00:16:50.005 --> 00:16:53.365
Nonsense land. It could be on farm, a farm in nonsense land.
343
00:16:53.365 --> 00:16:56.525
Yeah. And this is the nonsense grass
344
00:16:57.425 --> 00:16:59.285
For a child who has little language,
345
00:16:59.915 --> 00:17:01.965
they may move the character around
346
00:17:02.025 --> 00:17:03.565
to show you what they want to happen.
347
00:17:04.145 --> 00:17:06.925
Pay careful attention to their body language and gesture
348
00:17:07.465 --> 00:17:09.605
and take on the ideas they suggest.
349
00:17:10.325 --> 00:17:11.645
A willingness to share
350
00:17:11.665 --> 00:17:14.885
and test ideas is the first step to being creative.
351
00:17:15.595 --> 00:17:19.045
Testing and adapting ideas which features in the
352
00:17:19.125 --> 00:17:22.285
characteristics of effective learning also helps
353
00:17:22.345 --> 00:17:25.085
to build resilience and child led.
354
00:17:25.745 --> 00:17:29.085
The Torrance test we mentioned in session one involves
355
00:17:29.085 --> 00:17:32.245
coming up with lots of different uses for an everyday item.
356
00:17:32.785 --> 00:17:35.205
So for example, what could this brick be?
357
00:17:35.745 --> 00:17:36.925
It could be a door stop
358
00:17:37.585 --> 00:17:41.485
or a paperweight Block a mouse hole, heat it up
359
00:17:41.485 --> 00:17:43.965
and use it as a bed warmer or a nutcracker.
360
00:17:45.365 --> 00:17:46.435
Using tell's toolkit,
361
00:17:46.655 --> 00:17:49.605
you'll support the children in creating different ways
362
00:17:49.745 --> 00:17:51.325
to use everyday items.
363
00:17:52.345 --> 00:17:54.205
So how is a whisk a character
364
00:17:54.705 --> 00:17:58.725
or crinkly Foil a problem Through this initial support,
365
00:17:58.865 --> 00:18:00.045
you set the children up
366
00:18:00.045 --> 00:18:02.845
to be far more imaginative when they create stories
367
00:18:03.425 --> 00:18:06.605
and using tells toolkit, they can tell stories with
368
00:18:07.245 --> 00:18:08.405
anything anywhere.
369
00:18:09.345 --> 00:18:11.725
Mr. Squash is getting
370
00:18:12.445 --> 00:18:14.605
potatoes falling down on his head.
371
00:18:14.825 --> 00:18:18.205
Oh, how can I help you? I Potato
372
00:18:19.265 --> 00:18:20.265
And fun.
373
00:18:20.595 --> 00:18:23.405
Your role as facilitator is to take those random
374
00:18:24.245 --> 00:18:26.205
creative ideas that the children give you
375
00:18:26.505 --> 00:18:28.285
and bring them to life through story.
376
00:18:28.835 --> 00:18:31.125
When a child suggests a stone is a puppy
377
00:18:31.945 --> 00:18:35.365
or relief a rocket, then you need to use all
378
00:18:35.365 --> 00:18:37.925
of your acting skills to bring this to life
379
00:18:38.425 --> 00:18:40.525
and help the child enter the world of story.
380
00:18:41.625 --> 00:18:45.845
You silly voices, make the props, move, dance,
381
00:18:46.395 --> 00:18:49.605
jump and get the children involved using movement.
382
00:18:50.385 --> 00:18:52.805
Use song to up the levels of engagement
383
00:18:53.145 --> 00:18:55.245
and provide opportunities for learning.
384
00:18:55.995 --> 00:18:58.045
Music's really great for storytelling just generally.
385
00:18:58.065 --> 00:19:00.245
And tails tool kicks. It's such an nice structure,
386
00:19:00.435 --> 00:19:02.205
such an easy soft structure to use.
387
00:19:02.385 --> 00:19:05.685
It fits really, really well. Use rhythm and to use voice
388
00:19:05.685 --> 00:19:07.605
and spoken words and make it characterful.
389
00:19:08.505 --> 00:19:09.845
If you are gonna do singing,
390
00:19:09.845 --> 00:19:10.965
if you're confident doing singing,
391
00:19:11.255 --> 00:19:12.645
using tunes you already know.
392
00:19:12.985 --> 00:19:15.045
So wheels on the bus, for instance, might be good
393
00:19:15.045 --> 00:19:16.165
or row, row, row your boats.
394
00:19:16.315 --> 00:19:18.485
What should we do with the sleepy animals?
395
00:19:18.515 --> 00:19:20.925
What should we do with the sleepy animals?
396
00:19:21.035 --> 00:19:23.285
What should we do with the sleepy animals?
397
00:19:23.415 --> 00:19:24.885
Early in the morning,
398
00:19:25.815 --> 00:19:27.285
Songs are often repetitive
399
00:19:27.985 --> 00:19:30.045
and this supports the children in your group
400
00:19:30.045 --> 00:19:31.445
with low levels of language.
401
00:19:33.155 --> 00:19:35.205
When it comes to songs, be creative.
402
00:19:35.745 --> 00:19:39.045
If you don't feel comfortable singing it, then just say it.
403
00:19:39.585 --> 00:19:41.805
And you can make this more interesting
404
00:19:41.945 --> 00:19:44.005
by using body percussion to tap
405
00:19:44.185 --> 00:19:46.805
or clap along, finding rhythm in your words.
406
00:19:47.305 --> 00:19:50.365
And repeat lines so children can join in. There's
407
00:19:50.365 --> 00:19:53.965
Always a bump bump, there's always a bump bump.
408
00:19:54.655 --> 00:19:56.205
Using these three principles,
409
00:19:56.545 --> 00:19:59.565
the children's stories will become increasingly creative.
410
00:20:00.935 --> 00:20:03.205
Tells toolkit to develop social skills.
411
00:20:03.895 --> 00:20:07.525
Let's start with safe space stories.
412
00:20:07.735 --> 00:20:09.045
Bring emotions to life
413
00:20:09.145 --> 00:20:11.565
and help children to understand their own
414
00:20:11.565 --> 00:20:13.405
feelings and those of others.
415
00:20:14.385 --> 00:20:18.525
The first stage of developing empathy in young children is
416
00:20:18.525 --> 00:20:20.365
to help them recognize emotions.
417
00:20:22.065 --> 00:20:25.445
Tell's Toolkit is a safe context in which to allow
418
00:20:25.545 --> 00:20:26.885
and explore feelings.
419
00:20:27.665 --> 00:20:31.245
And when using tell's toolkit, take every opportunity
420
00:20:31.625 --> 00:20:34.085
to draw attention to the feelings in the stories.
421
00:20:35.235 --> 00:20:37.085
Talk about the character's feelings.
422
00:20:37.545 --> 00:20:41.765
The fox seemed very angry. Use facial expressions.
423
00:20:42.425 --> 00:20:45.565
Say the feeling word and act out the feeling with props.
424
00:20:45.745 --> 00:20:47.885
All of these combined will help children
425
00:20:47.985 --> 00:20:49.845
to develop a feeling vocabulary.
426
00:20:50.305 --> 00:20:53.125
And over time you'll start to see more emotions
427
00:20:53.725 --> 00:20:57.045
explored in the children's stories and child led.
428
00:20:57.395 --> 00:21:00.005
When children have told a story from the character's
429
00:21:00.005 --> 00:21:02.765
perspective, try swapping the character
430
00:21:02.865 --> 00:21:07.325
and the problem round the child still takes a lead in the
431
00:21:07.325 --> 00:21:09.645
storytelling, but this encourages them
432
00:21:09.825 --> 00:21:11.685
to tell the story from another angle
433
00:21:12.305 --> 00:21:14.765
and it can lead to very interesting discussions.
434
00:21:15.625 --> 00:21:18.645
So what would happen if the big bad wolf is the character
435
00:21:18.945 --> 00:21:20.485
and Red Riding Hood is the problem?
436
00:21:20.905 --> 00:21:24.205
Was the wolf really bad or was he just hungry?
437
00:21:25.065 --> 00:21:27.005
It certainly stimulates thinking
438
00:21:27.385 --> 00:21:31.445
and fun when you are acting silly and having fun
439
00:21:31.745 --> 00:21:33.525
and really showing your sense of humor.
440
00:21:34.175 --> 00:21:37.045
Often the children are more relaxed, engaged,
441
00:21:37.545 --> 00:21:39.485
and you'll see them at their most confident.
442
00:21:41.245 --> 00:21:43.325
Teachers have commented on the difference made
443
00:21:43.325 --> 00:21:46.125
to children's confidence through using Tell's toolkit.
444
00:21:46.785 --> 00:21:49.685
And this is often because they really wanna join in
445
00:21:49.685 --> 00:21:51.405
and have their ideas taken on.
446
00:21:52.025 --> 00:21:54.365
In, um, my group, I've got quite few children
447
00:21:54.425 --> 00:21:56.125
who are very shy, particularly girls.
448
00:21:56.745 --> 00:22:01.245
Um, and this gave them the confidence to speak more, um,
449
00:22:01.545 --> 00:22:03.805
but also to express.
450
00:22:04.005 --> 00:22:05.805
I found after a little while with Charles Toolkit,
451
00:22:05.835 --> 00:22:08.125
they were expressing their ideas and their feelings
452
00:22:08.125 --> 00:22:10.165
and their thoughts, uh, a lot more as well.
453
00:22:10.225 --> 00:22:12.125
Not just their stories and their imagination.
454
00:22:13.085 --> 00:22:14.165
Allowing every scenario
455
00:22:14.465 --> 00:22:18.285
and all feelings means children can explore serious issues
456
00:22:18.705 --> 00:22:22.365
and real life problems in safe and fun ways.
457
00:22:22.975 --> 00:22:25.245
Using Tell's Toolkit, children start
458
00:22:25.265 --> 00:22:27.805
to look at a story from another's perspective
459
00:22:28.625 --> 00:22:29.965
and you'll see less violence
460
00:22:30.545 --> 00:22:33.405
and more pro-social elements in your children's stories.
461
00:22:35.265 --> 00:22:38.245
Before you start using Tell's toolkit, get together
462
00:22:38.425 --> 00:22:39.725
as a group and think about
463
00:22:39.825 --> 00:22:41.325
how you are gonna deal with violence.
464
00:22:42.155 --> 00:22:44.405
Different schools have different views on this,
465
00:22:44.665 --> 00:22:46.285
so it's best you make the decision
466
00:22:46.985 --> 00:22:49.565
and it's very easy to appear disapproving.
467
00:22:49.825 --> 00:22:51.125
But think carefully.
468
00:22:52.025 --> 00:22:54.085
We find it quite a loaded thing to deal with
469
00:22:54.155 --> 00:22:57.885
because we have a lot of associations around violence.
470
00:22:58.025 --> 00:23:00.725
We know it makes people feel sad. We know it hurts people.
471
00:23:00.785 --> 00:23:02.725
We know that the damage it can inflict
472
00:23:03.595 --> 00:23:05.555
preschoolers kind of don't.
473
00:23:06.215 --> 00:23:09.275
Um, and so it's, it's a useful part
474
00:23:09.275 --> 00:23:10.635
of their everyday repertoire.
475
00:23:10.735 --> 00:23:14.715
Now our job, I think is to, um, show them
476
00:23:14.715 --> 00:23:17.345
that our alternatives and that's, that's great.
477
00:23:17.605 --> 00:23:19.185
So we, we accept what they're doing
478
00:23:19.205 --> 00:23:21.305
and say, alright, so clearly you know, you,
479
00:23:21.325 --> 00:23:22.785
you weren't happy with that situation.
480
00:23:22.805 --> 00:23:25.545
Or you know, your friend didn't want you to do that.
481
00:23:25.765 --> 00:23:29.385
That's why they fished you away. What else could we do?
482
00:23:29.405 --> 00:23:30.425
How else could we tell them
483
00:23:30.575 --> 00:23:32.305
that we're not happy with what's happening?
484
00:23:32.965 --> 00:23:35.745
So we can use it, I think and accept it
485
00:23:35.745 --> 00:23:38.345
and don't necessarily, we don't need to run in and judge,
486
00:23:38.805 --> 00:23:39.905
but we can accept it
487
00:23:39.925 --> 00:23:41.305
and then use it as a basis
488
00:23:41.405 --> 00:23:43.225
to explore different alternatives.
489
00:23:43.945 --> 00:23:45.025
Children are like sponges
490
00:23:45.385 --> 00:23:46.645
and you'll be surprised at
491
00:23:46.745 --> 00:23:48.285
how much they pick up from the
492
00:23:48.285 --> 00:23:49.405
things that happen around them.
493
00:23:50.115 --> 00:23:52.045
There's lots they'll hear from background
494
00:23:52.185 --> 00:23:53.605
TV and discussions.
495
00:23:54.615 --> 00:23:56.645
Story and role play are one of the ways
496
00:23:56.645 --> 00:23:59.205
that children make sense of the world they live in.
497
00:24:00.315 --> 00:24:03.005
When your children are confident using Tell's Toolkit
498
00:24:03.745 --> 00:24:06.725
and know their ideas are valued, you may want
499
00:24:06.725 --> 00:24:08.845
to discuss the impact of their suggestions.
500
00:24:09.465 --> 00:24:12.485
One class told a story in which they solved the problem
501
00:24:12.545 --> 00:24:14.445
of a biting bear by killing it.
502
00:24:15.195 --> 00:24:18.005
Another child said, but his mom will be really sad.
503
00:24:18.825 --> 00:24:20.685
And this led to a discussion
504
00:24:20.685 --> 00:24:22.885
where we talked about alternative solutions
505
00:24:22.945 --> 00:24:24.125
we might try in the future.
506
00:24:25.195 --> 00:24:26.725
This wouldn't have been anywhere near
507
00:24:26.745 --> 00:24:29.205
as powerful if first the children hadn't
508
00:24:29.205 --> 00:24:30.405
experienced killing the bear.
509
00:24:31.135 --> 00:24:33.725
Think about what you will do if the solution each
510
00:24:33.725 --> 00:24:34.885
time is kill him.
511
00:24:35.775 --> 00:24:39.115
So you're all set up ready to tell, tell, talk it stories.
512
00:24:40.035 --> 00:24:42.075
Remember those three key principles.
513
00:24:43.055 --> 00:24:45.835
Create a safe space where suggestions are valued.
514
00:24:46.815 --> 00:24:49.675
Let the child lead and have lots of fun.
515
00:24:51.185 --> 00:24:53.125
We recommend over the next month.
516
00:24:53.585 --> 00:24:57.325
You use Tell's Toolkit Big bags at least once a week
517
00:24:57.355 --> 00:24:58.365
with all the children
518
00:24:59.105 --> 00:25:01.325
so they become familiar with the structure.
519
00:25:01.995 --> 00:25:04.285
This should fit easily into your story
520
00:25:04.285 --> 00:25:05.605
time or group sessions.
521
00:25:06.995 --> 00:25:08.065
Using Intel's toolkit,
522
00:25:08.325 --> 00:25:10.945
you'll see improvements in the children's language,
523
00:25:11.675 --> 00:25:13.785
creativity, and social skills.
524
00:25:14.485 --> 00:25:17.665
The storytelling you provide now is setting your children up
525
00:25:17.805 --> 00:25:20.145
to be curious, creative adults
526
00:25:20.145 --> 00:25:23.785
with good communication skills and the best bit
527
00:25:24.135 --> 00:25:25.745
because it's led by the children,
528
00:25:26.055 --> 00:25:27.625
there's virtually no planning.
529
00:25:27.965 --> 00:25:29.865
You just pick up the bags and go,
530
00:25:30.285 --> 00:25:32.945
and who knows where your stories will lead.
