Record Me A Story
You will need:
- Smartphone or tablet
- Free voice-recording/memo app or program
- Printable storytelling cards (optional)
Process:
-
This is a storytelling game! We’re going to tell a story and record it together.
-
What will it be about? Who will the characters be? Will it be sad, scary, funny? How does a story start and end?
-
Press “record” and start your story! Take turns—you can say “what happens next” to prompt your child.
-
If using storytelling cards, take turns picking a card and using the image on the card to inspire the next part of your story.
-
When the story is over, stop the recorder and save it with an original title.
-
Listen at bedtime, on the bus, in the car, or at home!
Tech Tips for Young Children:

- Choose media that matches your child’s interests, and is age appropriate.
- Create a screen free zone in the bedroom to ensure healthy sleep habits.
- Be a role model by limiting your own media usage, your child will follow your lead!
