How it works

  1. 1

    Let's start our story! Say to your child: 'Once upon a time, there was a...' and let them finish that first sentence. What does they want our story to be about?

  2. 2

    Now it's your turn, you! Add a sentence to continue the story. Then ask your child: 'What happened next?' Let's see how they builds on your idea.

  3. 3

    Let's keep the story going! Add another sentence yourself, maybe introducing a little problem or surprise. Then ask your child: 'How does our story end?' Encourage them to finish it.

  4. 4

    Now let's bring the story to life! Invite your child to act out the story with their stuffed animals or dolls. You can be a character too! Narrate as you play.
