Be entertained by amazing tales and discover the power of stories – woven from rhythm, repetition and rhyme – to engage all ages inclusively: playful, creative and spontaneous! Two free sessions are on offer to Fit for All groups on Wednesday 31 July led by local storyteller Anna O’Brien.
Anna is an experienced storyteller who is skilled at customising and adapting what she does to fit with any group. She is also qualified as a forest school leader and is a gardener, therapeutic horticulture facilitator and art interpreter besides. Telling stories helps children understand how events and feelings string together and how they can be described. And , of course, how entertaining it can be, not just to listen to stories, but to tell your own.
Here is Anna at Bournville Bookfest during lockdown in 2021 where she spoke alongside Benjamin Zephaniah, Michael Rosen and Cressida Cowell:
