In this fun and interactive class, kids get to listen to an enthralling African Folktale each week. As the stories are being told, participants will get to play different characters as they act out mini scenes from the tale (they are more than welcome to sit back and just watch if the prefer). They'll learn interesting facts about the country, culture, or history behind the story and they'll spend a few minutes discussing the important lessons they learned. 

This class will have the kids moving and talking as they act out scenes and eagerly wait to find out how the story ends. Ideal for kids aged 5 to 9 years old.
