Storytelling with Kamishibai Theatre
Children invent, illustrate, and present their own story using images and Kamishibai theatre.
The teacher offers the child visual materials, picture cards with different objects drawn on them (for example animals, vegetables, plants, vehicles, homes). The child is encouraged to choose five pictures and invent their own story based on them.
With the guidance of the teacher, the child invents events for each picture. The child forms meaningful sentences and connects them into a story. The story is illustrated through five consecutive events. The illustrations are placed into the Kamishibai theatre in the correct order. Using the illustrations, the child tells their invented story. The teacher records the storytelling.
The child watches their own storytelling recording. The teacher encourages reflection by asking:
This is followed by feedback from the teacher:
Well-known literary stories can be used if children find it difficult to invent their own story.
Art materials and illustration techniques can vary.
The activity can also be carried out in pairs or small groups.
This activity supports storytelling, creativity, and language development through visual prompts and structured narration. By choosing images and inventing a story sequence, children practise organising ideas, forming sentences, and connecting events into a coherent narrative. The Kamishibai theatre provides a clear visual framework that supports focus and confidence during storytelling.
The activity took place over a longer period of time (10 days). Children needed individual support in inventing a coherent story, mainly through guiding questions. They also needed support with illustrating the content, so that the drawings did not include too many details but focused on the essential elements. During recording, children had no difficulties, as they are used to recording themselves, watching the recordings, and reflecting on them.
