Curiosity * Creativity * Connection
Storytelling in Education
I offer a range of Storytelling in Education options as follows:
PARENT / CHILD GROUPS & EYFS
Playful, interactive storytelling rooted in rhythm, repetition, gesture and imitation. Sessions draw on seasonal songs, rhymes and stories, using percussion, puppets and story aprons to spark curiosity, naturally supporting vocabulary development and language skills.
KS1 – 2
ONCE UPON A… WHAT?
A Spontaneous Storytelling Adventure
Using games, sound, movement and a very opinionated magic carpet, we’ll create a story together. We’ll fly through the seasons, invent characters, find objects and explore far away places. Every adventure is different. Let’s see where this tale takes us… Ready to jump on board?
Other choices ideal for this age group include riddles, tongue twisters, poetry and rhymes, folk tales, complex fairy tales, Bible stories and fables.
KS3
These sessions include myths, legends or tales of heroes and heroines, quests, conflict and transformation. Through story games, drama and music, oral stories offer a safe way for young people to explore their thoughts and feelings while developing understanding, empathy and connection with others.
14+
Dilemma Stories
Using story as a vehicle to ask questions, provoke discussion and encourage reflection. Stories that help young people to consider moral issues, dual perspectives and complex human choices. Ideal for developing critical thinking, reasoning and respectful dialogue.

“I used the basket of treasures game with my class 10 yesterday.
They loved it and it brought such wonderful relief and joy back to creative writing.”
“Danyah is an incredibly positive, friendly and knowledgeable. Her love of all things story related is infectious and one cannot help but feel inspired by her to take that huge leap and have a go for oneself”
“We had a brilliant day with Danyah – the kids were enthralled and the adults were very impressed, and inspired – one did further storytelling with her class later that day and is making it a weekly feature!”

We must nurture and provide as many opportunities as possible for children.”
