National Tell A Story Day
Every year in the United States, National Tell a Story Day, encourages people of all ages to share their stories. The stories can take many forms, as well. You can choose from a book or make one from scratch. Stories reconstructed from childhood memories leave an indelible mark on both the storyteller and the listener..... Regardless of what story you tell, the day is a good day for visiting friends and family to share those tales.
The ancient art of storytelling passed on wisdom from one generation to the next. It's a wonderful way to pass on family roots, roots, and long-told stories. It can also be amusing as well as educational. Some of the best stories come from real-life experiences, as any good storyteller will tell you.
Every generation is encouraged to tell stories at this commemoration. That includes everything from the youngest storytellers to the most experienced. To swap stories, gather grandparents and children. Pick a topic and let the stories spin. To tell, you can tell favorite books or well-remembered fables. Spending time with family, colleagues, and loved ones is a time for all to learn from each other, remember, and grow closer together...
Oral storytelling provides rich opportunities to reminisce in addition to creating a bonding environment.. Oral storytelling also promotes creativity by linking the past to the present. It encourages the use of imagination that lasts a lifetime.
