Storytelling Activities to Try With Your Child

A story can be a starting point for making up something together. Try changing the setting, inventing a character, or telling a new ending.

Start with a familiar story and ask one open question: what would happen if the hero chose a different path? Take turns adding an idea without trying to produce a perfect story.

Try a Different Ending

Stop before the ending and invite your child to suggest what happens next. They can tell you, draw it, or act it out. Then compare their version with the original.
