Because of the images that are formed in our minds when we hear a story there are many things that can be done in art classes using a story. For this page I also add speaking arts and movement.

Here are some ideas: These will work for different age groups and are not in any age specific grouping.

*Draw the characters in the story.
*Have the children draw the story in the sequence that the story is told in. Maybe this can be done in groups and each child in a group can draw one part of the story.
*Act out the story in a group paying attention to the beginning, middle and end of the story.
*Re-tell the story from the pictures drawn.
*Tell the story through movement using no words.
