Using Bruner's CPA approach, children engage in concrete drawing, pictorial sequencing, and abstract animation. The physical act of flipping through pages reinforces memory and understanding of motion through visual storytelling.
1. Gather 10 small pieces of paper stacked together. 2. Draw a simple character on the first page, like a bouncing ball. 3. Slightly change its position on each subsequent page, creating movement. 4. Number the pages in the corner to keep track of the sequence. 5. Once done, hold the stack with one hand and flip through quickly with the other. 6. What story does your flipbook tell? Share it with your family!
