Stories
A read-aloud with stops in it. We pause where the character has to decide something, and ask the room what they would do — and how that would feel.
One hour, four times this winter. A story told together, a scene played out loud, and something made with crayons — so that naming a feeling stops being a lesson and starts being a game.
Children arrive as listeners and leave as storytellers. Grown-ups stay in the room — the point is what you do together afterwards.
A read-aloud with stops in it. We pause where the character has to decide something, and ask the room what they would do — and how that would feel.
Parts get handed out and the scene is played out loud. A worry you have acted turns out to be much smaller than the one you only thought about.
Crayons, a printable from the TadaKit, and a page each child fills in their own way. It goes home with them, and so does the conversation.
Each session is a complete hour on its own — come to one, or come to all four.
All four sessions run at Aurora Public Library as part of their programme listings. Registration is handled by the library and opens closer to the date — leave your email and we will write to you the day it does.
A workshop that stops at the door has not done very much. Every family leaves with the printable we used and a way to keep going at the kitchen table.
A grown-up stays with each child for the whole hour. The role play works because you are both in it.
Crayons, pencils and every printable are provided. Just arrive a few minutes early.
Sixty minutes, with a soft start. Latecomers are welcome — the story begins at 11:20.
Write to info@tadatoon.com and we will answer within two working days.
We run the same hour wherever there is a room and a group of families — and we build the printables around whatever your programme is already working on.
