In playing with the storytelling rail, children engage intensively and independently with stories, fairy tales, and many other literary forms. Using creative techniques tailored to the character of each story, children create figures to narrate the events through words, images, and movement. The practical book is a treasure trove of creative methods and ideas for using the storytelling rail in kindergartens and elementary schools. It includes a workshop for figures and backdrops with step-by-step instructions, as well as a variety of practical offerings for concept formation, vocabulary expansion, and literacy. There are also exciting ideas for combining the storytelling rail with a Kamishibai or for using the method in religious education.
