This is an activity to use with small children. It is about identifying, when hearing the story for a second time, the mistakes that the reader or storyteller makes; it can also be called “you are wrong” because of the phrase children will use when they have discovered the mistake.
Participants
Small children that cannot read yet.
Objectives (for the child)
- To get used to hearing
- To pay attention to out loud reading
- Understand what they hear
Method
Once the children are gathered together, the person reads or tells the story, slowly. After some time he tells the children he will read the story again, and that if he makes a mistake, they need to say “You are wrong!”. Read or tell the story a second time, changing names and situations.
Time
Is it recommended not to make it longer than half an hour. It is important to find a short story.
