FiveSenses
Sensory Story Telling
FiveSenses are creative sensory stories that can be
used in a wide range of educational purposes.
FiveSenses combines original stories and the use of a range of
sensory equipment,helping to bring words and pictures to life!
Stories can be written especially to fit the curriculum/plans
that are being used so that they're tailor made just for you.
Each story provides different ways to interact, whether through sight, sound,
sense or smell. The taste aspect of each story is still in the early stages as, because children/young adutls/adults may have numerous allergies/sensitivties,
I have to be especially careful what I use and how I use it.
I tend to use classical music or sound fx as a backdrop to each story, placing the
songs and sounds so that, as the story reaches its conclusion, the music becomes
more gentle and relaxing.
At the end of each story there is a list of props that are already used, such as
pictures (I use clip art and other images, which you will see with each story)
music, etc. These are there to be a starting point, where items can be added,
replaced or removed. As you ecome more aware of the story and its effect
on the listener, you then become more adept at improvisation, asking questions
and eliciting more detailed responses from your audience.
Each story is original, inspired by ideas from young people
I have worked with, and flights of my own fancy!
