Anyone know of any drawing stories for children?

Question

I was wondering whether anyone knew of any particular story done where you draw and tell a story at the same time for children? If anyone has any links, or have any they done that would be great.

Answer 1

Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves

Answer 2

These are called tell and draw stories and there are books you can get from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.  I am sorry I do not have one I can type out here and there do not seem to be links for them as the stories are copyrighted.  They are a great tool though with preschoolers.  Hope you can find a book near you.

Good Luck

Answer 3

I love the Candy Man draw and tell.

Once upon a time a little old lady was sitting in her house when a knock came at the door (here the children knock)

The old lady says (children say 'who's there')

It's a pair of boots, you draw the boots on the board.

The next day there was a knock on the door (children knock on their desks or something) and the old lady says (children say 'who's there').

It's a pair of long long legs, and you draw the long legs from the boots .....goes on, a coat....long arms....a neck....a hat...then it's the candy man!

You can change candy man to Father Christmas for Christmas (starting with the boots), or a character the children love....it's fun, try it.

Are you familiar with Handwriting Without Tears song called Mat Man?  It's a great activity for teaching body parts and basic handwriting skills.  We start with pre-cut shapes to make the parts of Mat Man's body, then after a few days of that, the teacher will draw the parts, and after the song she will ask the children what else Mat Man needs.  He usually ends up with a mustache or beard, crazy hair, maybe a hat or purse, etc. and the kids are rolling on the floor laughing.  The next step would be to give the kids paper and a crayon and let them draw Mat Man while the song is on.  It's a fun, constructive activity, and the song is catchy and cute and the kids enjoy singing it too.

Mat Man has one head, one head, one head,
