Storytelling Sessions
Stories told with voice, movement and rhythm. Children join in with actions, sounds, repeated phrases, predictions and ideas. For early years groups, rhythm, movement and repetition make participation easy.
Good for: childcare centres, kindergartens and primary classes; themes and celebrations.
Story Theatre
A named interactive show with character voices, simple props, movement and plenty of audience participation. Early Years shows are tailored for younger listeners.
Good for: Early Years performances and Book Week. Primary shows include classroom resources.
Creative Workshops
Children move from listening to making stories of their own. Through character play, movement, voice and writing, they explore how stories work and practise sharing their ideas.
Choose Story Play for Prep, Voice It Out! for Years 1–2, or Story Makers for Years 3–4.
Good for: class groups, literacy programs and enrichment.
Author Visits
Children hear a book read aloud or performed, then meet the person who wrote it. They can ask where ideas come from, how characters grow and what happens as a story becomes a book.
An author visit can also include a creative storytelling activity.
Good for: reading celebrations and classes exploring how books are made.
