Story Sacks

What is a Story Sack? 
 
A story sack is a large cloth bag containing a favourite children's book with supporting materials to stimulate language activities and make reading a memorable and enjoyable experience. In working with the children to tell the story, the following pointers are useful:
  • Talk about the story and children’s favourite bits
  • Ask children questions about the characters and the plot
  • Retell the story using the models and story sack contents
  • Find out more about the people and places in the story by looking at the non-fiction books to expand learning
  • Draw a character or model one out of plasticene
  • Draw a story map of the plot to help with re-telling the story
  • Use the story to creatively engage the children in learning life lessons
We have Story Sacks in the Tracey Buckley Resource Library which you can borrow for your service. 
 

Tullaulo's Atishoo

 This fabulous Storysack contains everything you need to bring the story of Tallula’s Atishoo! to life. Tallula, the pink hippo, was doing what she liked most of all, wallowing in mud! She loved the stuff, the stickier the better. But she soon discovers that you can have too much of a good thing, when she overstays her welcome in the muddy depths! Despite the best efforts of the other jungle animals it’s the smallest of creatures that comes to her rescue, much to the annoyance of the others. A wonderfully sticky tale written by Neil Griffiths and illustrated by Peggy Collins.

The sack includes masks and tails to role play the story, a farmyard animal pairs puzzle game, audio CD of the story read by the author, Neil Griffiths, a parent prompt and non fiction book.
