Turn a child's idea into a character, a story or a small performance.
Entertainment Words introduces sixteen terms behind stories, games, music, film and performance, including imagination, character, creative, audience, broadcast, awe and sequel. Illustrated scenes and teaching examples connect the vocabulary with things children can make and try.
Create a character from an ordinary object. Agree on rules for a game. Explore how still pictures become moving images, or return to a story and decide what happens next. Each topic includes an explanation, questions and a practical activity.
Making, watching, listening, directing and performing all have a place. Guidance for grown-ups supports willing participation and explains the difference between making a recording and publishing one. A glossary, review prompts and a closing performance project help children bring their ideas together.
For preschool families, homeschoolers and early learning groups, this book offers a starting point for imaginative play and shared storytelling.
