PBS Kids Boohbah
Storytelling
In each episode of Boohbah, we visit Storyworld, where the Storypeople find the gift given to them by the children, and where the children send the Storypeople an additional gift to help them solve the problem that invariably arises. There is very little narration in this segment, leaving lots of opportunity for viewer input.

Age 3-6 years

Directions
Encourage your child to make up his own stories for the Storypeople. Make Storypeople cut-outs stuck to popsicle sticks or Storypeople finger puppets and act out the stories. Or assign roles and pretend to be the Storypeople.

Talk About It
While you view, encourage your child to make up her own narration to the Storypeople segment. Let her use her own words to describe the action. When the Storypeople encounter a problem, ask your child what she would do or what she would give the Storypeople to solve the problem.
