Goldilocks and the Three Bears
This is the first story I can remember being ‘told’, by my father and remember regularly requesting to repeat that special experience of an adult’s undivided attention and the experiences of exploring the ‘scariness of imagination’ from within the secure base of a trusted adult’s lap.
Retelling a familiar story with older children with silly mistakes for them to ‘catch out’ the storyteller – great for developing attention skills and lots of fun. Bring back the art of story telling without the need for a book!
