Children, more than any other category of learners, delight in make-believe. They are immediately at home in imaginary worlds, where they can act out a role, engage in pretend activities, dress up, and for a short while become another person.
Alan Maley

Children act out scenes and stories from the age of about three or four. They play at being adults in situations, like shopping and visiting the doctor, which are part of their lives. Children try out different roles in makebelieve play. They rehearse the language and the script of the situation and experience the emotions involved, knowing that they can switch back to reality whenever they want to.
Sarah Phillips

Soundtrack
1.

Listen to this text. Sally sat by the seaside at sunset admiring the beautiful horizon. She ravished at the refreshing sea breeze while hearing the waves beat against the rocks at the far end of the beach and the lapping of the waves by the seashore. The excited shouts of little children running towards the sea broke the serenity of the day . Once in a while the shouts of the icecream seller penetrated the steps of joggers jogging along the beach. As she saw the womenfolk clad in their sarongs walk towards the seashore, she could see fishermen returning to shore after a days catch.

The story: Think of a place that is just yours. It might be your room or if you share the room, a special part of the room. It might even be a place outside your home which you like. But, it should be a place that is private and special to you.

Imagine that you are in your special place now. Look around. Use your sense of sight to take in all the details you can even the ones that you have not noticed before. Listen to all the special sounds in your special place. Even quiet places have sounds. You must listen for the special sounds of your place.

See if you can identify several smells. Breathe in the smells of your place and see if you can taste the smell of your special place. Now, use your hands and touch various things in your space. Feel the textures and temperatures of your space. Are the surfaces rough or smooth? Warm or cool? Damp or dry? Explore your space with your sense of touch. 3. Stand and stretch yourselves. 4. Tell a partner about your special place. Variation: You may use a different situation, eg. going on a holiday and describing the journey in detail, etc. You can extend this activity into a writing activity write short stories, plays or poems. Can be extended into a drawing activity draw murals of the story, etc or write songs.

As you walk deeper into the trail, you find that the path is rough with a lot of tiny pebbles and then you need to hike a little hill which is slippery. Its full moon . You can feel sweat running down your face. Huh! Why am I shivering? Mosquitoes buzzing around me. There! Got you! The hoot of the owl and the screeching sounds of crickets shivers you Next, you descend the hill and walk through mud. It is sticky and muddy. At this stage, it is very difficult to walk but you walk through the mud and suddenly, you hear sounds like a waterfall. Could it be!? You walk. You run. Looking to your left, your right. Hahh!! There it is! You see the most beautiful waterfall right in front of your eyes. You take off your shoes, your pants, your shirt and dive into the water. It feels so good in the cool waters of the river. The water smells so fresh. It is so soothing. You feel every drop of the water with tenderness. You clean every inch of your body. It feels so good to be clean again.

The leader will ring a bell after one minute. Then, the second person enters the acting place as another person narrates the story. They continue exactly where the story was left off. This activity continues until the story concludes or until everyone has had turns as storyteller and actor.
