Thinking & feelings
Do: A picture reminder. Describe a pretend visitor: Noor has a striped bag and a green hat. Your child draws a quick reminder. Talk about something else briefly, then use the drawing to recall both details. You can repeat the description whenever asked.
You need: Paper and crayons
Talk: What did your picture help you remember?

Game (optional): Memory Match
Moving & making
Do: Perform and revise. Play the scene once, following the drawings. Ask what made the story clear and choose one change, such as a longer pause before the ending. Try again if your child wishes. Swap directing and performing roles; praise a specific choice rather than comparing performers.
You need: The scene drawings
Talk: Which change might help someone understand our story?
