Dear Hannah,
Life is a story.
A story is your account of events.
A relationship with God makes your story better.
So does an imagination.
Both help you to "see" who you are - and who you can be.

Standup Storytelling
Standup Storytelling
uses “story time” (primarily for student audiences of ages 4-10) to build
relationships via acceptance, affirmation, accountability, and empathy.
It builds literacy, numeracy, language, and critical
thinking skills via imagination and creative problem solving using a recurring
set of characters, themes and combinable techniques like …
a. StoryBox /
StoryBag (stories created “on the fly” using prompts from small objects (like
numeric / letter / picture dice, or board game pieces) selected from a box /
bag)
b. Fill-In-The-Blank
(tell stories that encourage audience participation by providing “blanks”
that they “fill in” ... use the “blanks” to let them decide what happens next!)
c. Rhyme-In-Time
(a special version of
Fill-In-The-Blank where each “blank” is filled with a alliterative word
beginning with the “letter of the day”, or with a word that rhymes with a
recent story word)
d. Affirmations
(stories that offer personal encouragement to the audience)
e. On This
Day (re-enactment of the current / previous day using the characters Super Hannah & Shaka, and / or Mr. Bunny)
f. Slide Show
(stories - based on current and recent events (like field trips) – powered by
cellphone photos)
g. The
Adventures of SuperHannah (SuperHannah – assisted by her trusted sidekick
Shaka - uses her “special powers” of mentoring, mediation, creative problem
solving and empathy to redirect “villains” to become positive contributors to
society)
