Story Boards

"StoryBoards' is a simple and fun game resource to help children with language and communication difficulties develop their narrative skills. Using game boards and colourfully-illustrated picture cards, StoryBoards helps children to visualise and practise telling a story through identifying the essential elements, how these should be sequenced and providing a basic vocabulary. - There are individual boards for four players - larger groups can work in pairs to develop individual stories or work on a single story as a group. Each story element - location, time, transport, object, feeling and weather - is colour-coded for ease of identification. - The activity is presented at two levels - a simple picture framework excluding the concept of time, and a higher-level activity that includes time. - By picking story cards from the different sets, stories can be silly or sensible and children can either stick with their choices or negotiate for a change, which encourages discussion and reasoning. For example, if a child is going to the zoo, would they travel there in a submarine?
- Hugely flexible, other activities include: Throwing a story; Lotto; Vocabulary ladders; and Asking questions
