Storytelling made super easy!
Storytelling with kids is a great way to build imagination, to bond at bedtime, or to share a fun family activity. Our super easy storytelling formula will get your kids telling stories instantly.
When should you tell stories with children? Anytime. Our family tells stories when kids are sooo bored, like when we're waiting in a restaurant. And next time they’re tired of waiting in line-- start telling a story with them. Storytelling with kids is a great way to keep them from knocking all the gum off the shelves in the grocery store check out line (just ask our creators, a mom and daughter team, how Super Easy Storytelling got started.)
Storytelling Formula
All you need to tell a story anytime, anywhere is this super easy formula. Choose a Who, a What, and a Why Not to get a story started.
How it works: A great story needs an interesting main character (Who) and a plot (What + Why not). Once you break up the action into those three easy components , starting a story gets a whole lot easier.
