DRAW and TELL

STORY
Unlike flannelboard stories, you only need to
grab a piece of paper and something to write
with to prepare for this fun form of
storytelling. It only takes a few minutes to
tell the story, and you can easily continue the
lesson by allowing the children to draw what
you have drawn, and/or by inviting them to
help you draw other things that illustrate the
story

Chin answered, “I paint
what my eyes can see.”

“Can you draw a
