When you introduce storytelling to students, they may have a hard time with it at frist. Students may not know what story to tell, or how they want to tell it. By making pre-made story bags, students may use the props to help them tell the story with more creativity and less stress.
All you need to make a story bag, is some kind of background to set the story, some characters on long stir sticks (can get for free at Starbucks), and a small plate holder to hold up the background.
Encourage students to exaggerate once they are comfortable telling their story. Another idea would be to switch up the characters in the story, or change the background and encourage students to come up with a new story.
