Storytelling encourages creative writing and practice of written language. It also helps children learn how to write clear sentences that develop a central idea, and how to be thoughtful about the audience and purpose of written material. And because this activity requires teamwork, children will have to clearly describe their ideas and synthesize them with their peers’ thoughts. This activity also gives children a chance to practice specific vocabulary, brainstorming and writing dialogue.
