Storytelling prompts

Use this resource with the Explore the story and Friends like us lessons from our Australia topic.

These image only How the platypus got his shape story prompts are the perfect accompaniment to your storytelling lessons.

You can use these prompts on the whiteboard as you are telling our antipodean tale. Children can also use them working in pairs or groups to help them stay on track with their storytelling. You can also print out the images and laminate them and use them for sequencing activities.

(Printed copies are available to buy in our shop.)
