Early Years : Story Props and Games

The project holds over two hundred activities developed by enthusiastic teachers at storyprops and games workshops that we ran in the eighties. We used to run them on Saturdays and everyone found them more calming than shopping! The aim was to make books as enjoyable as possible and help children and their parents develop ownership of storytelling and story changing. We are now putting these activities online in bite size pieces, because scanning makes them quite heavy files. The activities you see here are the tip of an iceberg! We currently have thirty more packs of activities online and more are being added. However, to protect authors' and illustrators' copyrights please send us your school address and email if you want access to all the activities.
