Pilgrim and Indian Storytelling Craftivity

by pameladonnis

Many days I hear a familiar call come from our basement playroom, “Mommy! Do you want to come see my show?!” Then what usually follows is a storytelling from 7- and 5-year old voices, reenacted by My Little Ponies, Lego Mini Figures, or other favorite character toys.

Do your kids enjoy acting out stories as well? Incorporating this age-appropriate role playing into your homeschooling can be a fun way to enhance a lesson or test for comprehension. After reading a story or teaching a concept, ask your children to retell it back to you–summarizing the plot or main points. My kids particularly enjoy retelling with visual aids, so as (American) Thanksgiving approaches, we had fun creating these simple Pilgrim and Indian storytelling props and then retelling the story of The First Thanksgiving.
