ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces Storytelling and Story Acting, it becomes apparent that the majority of children want to get involved and will queue for long periods of time, waiting to tell a story. Storytelling is a social phenomenon, intended to flow through all other activities and provide the widest opportunity for a communal response. The chapter end up the perched on the floor between a range of activities and a large group of children. Once there author was stuck, until the last of the group has finished dictating. In Vivian Gussin Paley's book The Boy Who Would Be a Helicopter, she describes the place where story dictation is taken. Story Tables should be filled with a range of creative materials. Try to be nonprescriptive; otherwise the objects provided might influence the stories the children tell. A table covered in dinosaurs or toy cars will probably results in stories themed around these objects.
