1. Choose a favorite story and write down key scenes on separate pieces of paper. 2. Hide these papers around your home or garden. 3. As a family, embark on a treasure hunt to find each scene. 4. When a scene is found, retell that part of the story using expressive voice and gestures. 5. Once all scenes are found, gather to narrate the complete story together. 6. Discuss which parts were the most fun or surprising — why?
