Picture cards for our Narrative Theatre

Kamishibai offers a simple approach to give children a training in
free story telling: sitting in a circle, the narrator opens the
double wing door of the narrative theatre and thus the first
image appears in the black frame of the stage. Following the
sequence of pictures, children can relate the story in their own
way. Educators and teachers value this method since it fosters
linguistic and communicative abilities, leaves wide room for
creativity and improvisation, builds community and is very low
key in terms of technicalities.

Age group: from 2 years onwards

• Story-Telling with pictures in groups of children
