Storyboards

Details

A simple and fun game resource to help children with language and communication difficulties develop their narrative skills.

Using game boards and colourfully-illustrated picture cards, StoryBoards helps children to visualise and practise telling a story through identifying the essential elements, how these should be sequenced and providing a basic vocabulary.

There are individual boards for four players - larger groups can work in pairs to develop individual stories or work on a single story as a group.

Each story element - location, time, transport, object, feeling and weather - is colour-coded for ease of identification.

The activity is presented at two levels - a simple picture framework excluding the concept of time, and a higher-level activity that includes time.

StoryBoards will develop basic vocabulary and encourage active listening, turn-taking, topic maintenance and inferential reasoning. It will help children to contribute at 'News time' and to describe what happens on their school trips or holidays.

Ideal for use with individuals or groups by teachers, speech & language therapists and teaching assistants working with young children. It can be easily incorporated into classroom activities and relates directly to the English National Curriculum Key Stage 1 and 2.
