Where do you tell stories?

Where do you tell stories?

Anywhere safe and sound.

You can best tell stories in a quiet, comfy place in company of people you can trust. If you feel you could be bullied, teased or laughed at unfairly, it spoils things. But you can build trust. You can tell a story up a mountain, in a garden, a car, a castle, or home. You can create the story’s atmosphere almost anywhere. If you sit in a circle, you feel you are sharing. You can take turns to tell a story each, short or long, (not too long!). Or you could pass a story round the group, that is:- one starts and the next one continues, right round the group. A shy person could just do a few words, or a little bit of mime, or some sounds, even with a percussion instrument. Everybody’s contribution is valuable. They all help to move the story on. Good listeners are important for a story too.
