AnonyMouse_4562 Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Hi! I've been reading bits about dramatising stories including adding music lately. I have done bits like this in the past but not regularly. Does anyone have any tips or ideas about how to make this effective e.g. do weekly/incorporate as part of daily storytime/focus on one story for a few weeks? Of course we use stories within role-play and imaginative play but I wanted to see if I could develop it further. Thanks, Green Hippo x
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Sounds lovely Green Hippo - will watch this thread with interest....... Only time we have done this is with 'Going on a Bear Hunt'......... :1b
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 we've done a few bits like this in the past. Going on a bear hunt is a classic of course...using body percussion first then castanets then small groups for different things.... rain drums for swishy swashy, fingers on tambourines for splish splosh etc. We had a version of 3 little pigs that was set to music similar sort of set up. Of course the real classic for this is peter and the wolf...perhaps you could use the music from this to start the process talking about the noises that are used for each effect and see if the children could come up with their own ideas? 1
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 This is fab, we're revamping our creative provision soon and this will definitely be in it if I find any ideas I'll come back
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 this is the updated version of the one we had... http://www.yellow-door.net/come-alive-stories/the-three-little-pigs
