"Very easy to use...a well thought out tool with lots of potential for use"--Off the Loom

"Educators have long recognized the importance of oral language in the development of complete language skills. However, little has been known about how to exercise those skills in a playful and practical way. In Storytelling Games, Lipman demonstrates the use of storytelling games as a fun and effective tool for developing oral language skills in children.

"This spirited book shows how to incorporate storytelling into curriculum plans and daily classroom activities, enabling teachers to review history or math lessons in a playful way while exercising oral language skills." --Whole Language

"What's a story game, you ask? A story game is one in which players tell stories. Some games require paper and pencil, some others require props and yet others require only a few minutes of time. Some story games use traditional tales, others use personal experiences or original stories.

"The format of the book gives the suggested grade levels for the game, props needed (if any), a rating of difficulty and the game type such as a guessing-a-sound game or round robin and so on. A summary of the game is given, the game directions (step-by-step), and the skills reinforced, e.g., communications skills or thinking skills.

"The book is further formatted to cover various areas of the curriculum, [such as] language, social studies and math. A game-finder index, a subject index and a cultural background index make the book even more valuable.

"The sub-title of this book is 'Creative Activities for Language, Communication, and Composition Across the Curriculum.'The book certainly provides all of that."--Teaching K-8
