Hello, everyone! 🌟 Today, we are going to embark on a very special journey into the past. But instead of jumping into history books right away, let's start with a story!
Imagine you are sitting around a warm, crackling campfire under a starlit sky. The night is peaceful, and the air is filled with the sounds of nature. Close your eyes and listen closely as an Elder tells you a story from the Dreamtime—a time when the world was created and everything began.
Elder: "Long ago, before people walked the Earth, the stars shone brighter, and the animals spoke. There were great spirits that traveled the land, creating rivers, mountains, and all living things. From them came the mountains, the rivers, and even the very soil we stand upon. Each creature was given a special song, a connection to the land, and a role to play. This is the order of the world—the stories that bind us together."
Now that we've begun our adventure, it's your turn! In pairs, think of a creation story you would tell.
Take 5 minutes to discuss your ideas, and then we'll come back together to share your amazing stories!
After all the groups have shared, let’s reflect on the importance of storytelling in Aboriginal culture. These stories not only entertain us but also teach us about the world, our place in it, and the wisdom of those who walked before us.
