There are lots of emotions, imagination, and excitement in storytelling in the classroom. As a primary level teacher, I observed many grade students in storytelling and fairy tale lessons. And I discovered that the most enjoyable and relaxing moment of the fairy tale lesson is role-playing. Role-playing is a motivational and collaborative way of learning the language.
Stories and fairy tales hook kids’ imagination and convey them to the world of magic. I really love when my students immerse themselves into the world of fairy tales through reading, listening, and playing. Their eyes sparkle with curiosity and wonder during the lesson. We have a reading corner in our classroom and there are lots of books for young learners, however living in the era of information technology why not use audio, video, or e-books in the English language classroom. Last academic year was tough both for teachers and students due to pandemic; teachers taught and still are teaching learners online. I wondered how to conduct activities based on fairy tales, and I found a very useful website where I can create stories and fairy tales for my learners and post them on telegram.
storyjumper.com
Now I use stories from storyjumper.com in my classroom through internet access. It’s free for creating stories and if you want to download you need to pay for the website.
Here are some stories that I created for my students.
