- Cultivate their imagination: Every story is an opportunity to explore new possibilities and stimulate their creativity.
- Communicate differently: Making up stories helps children organize their ideas and convey their thoughts in a coherent and captivating way, for example, by making up voices.
- Learn academic skills: Making up stories is a playful way to broaden their vocabulary and perfect their grammar.
- Develop their emotional intelligence: By thinking like their characters, children learn to understand and express a whole range of emotions.
- Get to know themself better: Through stories, they can explore their aspirations, values, and preferences in a fun way.
