Storytelling cards

In my classrooms and workshops, I often use cards to allow students to create their own stories in small groups.
I was introduced to some of the possibilities of such cards by Moritz Egetmeyer, who runs OH-Publishers.
OH produce many different packs. The cards I use are Saga and 1001.

I am always amazed by the associative power of the folktale images depicted on the cards in this series. They are incredibly effective with all ranges of age and ability. Moreover, my students love using them!

To discover more, the North American OH website is an excellent starting point.

This article by Dutch storyteller Marco Holmer is a particularly interesting account of using Saga cards with children.

And this shorter article shows how I often use them in a classroom situation.
