Story Table Format

 All Story Table events are designed to capture the imagination of elementary aged children while containing timeless lessons that people of all ages can appreciate.  


Here's the format for the 90 minute session and what to expect from a Story Table event:

  • Opening:  We begin by listening with our eyes, ears, hands, feet and heart (3 minutes)
  • Welcome:  We greet each other and learn where the story comes from  (7 minutes)
  • Storytelling:  Kids engage with a story told by Nicholas or a guest storyteller (20 minutes)
  • Dancing:  We dance to music selected by Nicholas or guest storyteller and take turns leading and following each other's dance moves (15 minutes)
  • Drawing:  Everyone is invited to quietly draw: "what they heard in the story?" (15 minutes)
  • Sharing:  Participants are invited to talk about their own drawings and see each other's art work (15 minutes)
  • Questions:  Participants are invited to ask questions and engage in a conversation about the story (10 minutes)
  • Thanks:  Together we thank the story, the storytellers and each other - just the way we are (2 minutes) 
  • Closing:  We end by listening with our eyes, ears, hands, feet and hearts (3 minutes)

Listening

Multiple Intelligences

Multiple Intelligences



Ting- The Chinese character for listen, suggests a nuanced and empathetic way of communicating with others.  Inspired by this teaching and research that proves that 90% of communication is non-verbal, Story Table sessions are grounded in the practice of listening with our eyes, ears, hands, feet and hearts.

Multiple Intelligences

The Story Table Foundation is committed to incorporating Multiple Intelligence Theory because studies show that comprehension is greatly improved when all learning styles are engaged.   By actively working with their hands, asking questions and developing embodied cognition, each child is allowed to learn in a way that aligns with their strengths.
