Joy of Creativity

I gave Tell Me A Story - Fairy Tale Mix-Up as a present to one of my kindergarten age granddaughters, figuring she could play it with her four year old sister. Well, Daddy started out showing them how to play the game, and with some coaxing about not worrying about the rules, just draw some cards and make up a story, they had a ball. The laughter was telling. When it was over, my son (Daddy) drew me aside to tell me that he had slipped out the scary dragon and witch cards so as not to affect the girls. I have since sent him an e-mail asking him to leave the cards in the game, and to inform him that this kind of “pretend scary”, where the child is in absolute control of the situation, is the good kind of scary that prepares kids for dealing with real life. Children can not control what slaps them in the face on the TV screen, but they can control what they say about a picture on a card. And they can always turn the card face down. I highly recommend for listening, thinking, seeing, and talking -- any Tell Me A Story.

These are great story prompts and silly story makers. I use them with my children to develop their oral language skills.

I first saw these cards while waiting in line at the Smithsonian. The parent in front of me was waiting with his three kids with age ranges around 5-8. It was a fresh pack, but he clearly knew what he was going to do. It didn't look like the kids had ever play though. Within a minute, the three were talking, describing the cards and then telling a tall together.
My 5.5 year old son was completely enchanted. I've bought him a set for Christmas and plan to reserve them for the same kinds of things--waiting in long line and the drs. office, etc.

Tell Me A Story - Fairy Tale Mix-Up
Posted 1/1/2010 by Matt Nielsen

My 4 year old daughter received this for Christmas, and she loves it. She spontaneously spreads the cards on the sofa and starts making up stories. When it is my turn, she is very attentive to my story and the whole story making process. We have our editorial disagreements about how some things happen in the stories, but mostly we laugh and have a great time with the cards. I am planning on taking the cards with us on longer car trips to help the miles go by a little easier. "Tell Me A Story" cards are a great bargain for the money and provide creative, cooperative fun.
What Fun

This is a great way to get children thinking about how to form a story. It is amazing what they come up with.

This is a fun alternative to a book as a gift for a child. Although the packaging says 'ages 3+' I think you can use this with a significantly younger child. Really, if you would read to the child, you could just as well use Tell Me a Story cards with that child. I'll be back for another set.
