And Then ? Volume 1
"What's Next? Volume 1" is an innovative teaching resource that aims to stimulate children's creativity, verbal expression, and storytelling skills. Instead of following a linear, predetermined plot, this tool encourages children to explore the limitless world of their imagination to expand or divert the stories presented.
Main features:
Open Structure: Sequences of scenes serve as springboards for larger stories. Question mark cards are an explicit invitation to ask what happens next, providing a free space for creativity rather than a defined conclusion.
Creative Flexibility: There are no wrong answers. Each child has the opportunity to develop the story in a unique way, allowing for a variety of scenarios and solutions that reflect their individual thinking.
Critical Thinking Development: The game helps exercise and strengthen reasoning skills as children must consider logic and possible consequences as they construct the continuation of the story.
Communication and Collaboration: When played in groups, it promotes discussion, comparison of ideas, and collaboration as children can co-construct stories by accepting, adapting, or discussing the ideas of others.
Self-esteem: By encouraging creative contributions, play also helps children feel valued in their ideas, boosting confidence in their expressive and creative abilities.
