Reading Adventure: The Magical Story Door

Objective

To engage students' imaginations and excite them about reading through a creative storytelling activity.

Introduction to the Lesson

Setting the Scene
🎩✨ Close your eyes and imagine a world that is full of magic and mystery. Today, we are going to embark on an exciting adventure through the Magical Story Door! But first, let me ask you a question:

What if every time we opened a book, we stepped into a new world? 🌍📚

Activity: The Magical Story Door

Step 1: Creating the Magical Story Door

• Materials Needed:
  • A large cardboard cutout of a door (or a door picture to hang on the wall)
  • Colorful markers
  • Stickers
  • Fabric or paper for decoration

Instructions:

1. Gather the students around the Magical Story Door.
2. Explain that this door leads to different adventures and stories.
3. Ask the students to help decorate the door with drawings of what they think lies beyond it.

Step 2: Introduction to the First Story

• After decorating the door, gather the students in a circle.
• Ask: "What kind of story do you think is waiting for us behind the door?"
• Encourage them to share their ideas. Their answers might include dragons, friendly monsters, enchanted forests, or brave heroes.

Step 3: Opening the Door

• Now, it’s time to “open the door”!
• Activity: Count down from 3 together, then announce: “Let’s step through the Magical Story Door!”
• Pretend to step through and sit down in your reading area, where a great book is waiting.

Conclusion

Turning to Reading
