Sunday Creativity at Fully Booked Part 2 (or, When Children Make Awesome Stories)

The heroines of 'The Fourth Princess Rescue'

We capped off our demo class for The Creativity Project (read my previous entry for Part 1 of the class!) with the 'Make Your Own Adventure Challenge,' where we asked our participants to come up with a fairytale story of their own. I was interested to see how this group would take to the activity and I was so pleased with how they responded to it! Once I had gotten the ball rolling through an opening narration, they were soon offering their ideas and suggestions, and putting twists and turns in the story I never would have expected.

These impressive kids reminded me of how easy and effortless it is for young children to create, once put in an atmosphere that encourages them to let their imagination run wild and just BE! We whipped up the story in less than 10 minutes, and acted it out afterwards. It was a terrific show and I had a blast facilitating the activity :-)

Sunday Creativity at Fully Booked

Who wants to join The Creativity Project?

We spent a lovely Sunday afternoon at Fully Booked promoting our upcoming class The Creativity Project. We wanted to give kids a taste of the class and explore opportunities to express themselves through fun, exciting, and different ways.

We had a wonderful group of open, game, and extremely creative girls and boys. Here are some snapshots from the demo class:

We started off the afternoon with arts and crafts.

Happy artists with Teacher Marika :-)

The Creativity Project

Please check out the new class we cooked up in cooperation with Fully Booked starting on Wednesday, July 4. Get a free sneak preview of the class on Sunday, June 15 at the Children's Section of Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street! Our theme for the demo is Silly Fairytales and will include arts and crafts, interactive storytelling of an adventure told through the eyes of a rat turned coachman for Cinderella, and impromptu story making with the kids!

THE MAKE BELIEVE CREATIVITY PROJECT

Make Believe and Fully Booked invite all budding young artists to celebrate the joys of expressing in THE CREATIVITY PROJECT, a 5-week creative arts workshop for kids!

The Make Believe Creativity Project will allow children to stretch themselves and explore the full extent of their creativity by being exposed to different art forms:

• Storytelling and story making
• Arts and crafts
• Singing and simple songwriting
• Creative Movement
• Theater

Towards the second half of the workshop, students will chose an art form they would like to focus on and design an individual (or even group) project they will work on for the remaining sessions. The program will culminate in an arts extravaganza celebrating each student’s unique brand of artistry and creativity. 

Class schedule is Wednesdays and Fridays, 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. at The Forum, 4/F Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street, from July 4 - August 3. For children ages 5-13.

Interested parties may message me or contact our Workshop Program Officer, Teacher Celina at 7295899 or nini.torres@makebelieve.com.ph.
