Story telling competition

Storytelling is crucial in a child’s development. We live our lives through narrative and the earlier we can start the better. Storytelling opens up channels of communication and stimulates emotional, imaginative and linguistic development. It encourages participation and develops confidence and a sense of self-esteem.

Storytelling surrounds the child with imaginative language, introduces unfamiliar words in a narrative context, introduces narrative structure and allows children to give voice to their own ideas in their own language through telling their own stories, children learn to structure orally, to share and listen to their peers and to use their own language with pride. Story telling competition was organized for Pre-primary at Orchids – The International School on 07/02/2014. Students showcased their talent with great enthusiasm.
