I want to share a few resources that might help you facilitate the family storytelling ritual I described yesterday.
Sample story telling history will provide you withsome questions to start your family storytelling night. Some of the questions are simple, but you need take a while to think about some of them. You can print the questions and cut them into strips to be placed in a jar foreach family member.
Quotes about Story and Storytelling will give you a lot of quotes about how storytellers and others feel about storytelling. These quotes reinforce the idea that storytelling is a powerful ritual that can enhance family relationships.
This blog post, The “Do you know?” Test, by Judith Greenburg also might interest you. She talks about family stories helping people develop resilience and face life's challenges. Greenburg provides a lot of personal stories and experiences that demonstrate how sharingstories with family members positively impacts well-being.
I liked these sites and thought they could be helpful for inspiring a successful family storytelling night. As always, you can learn more by visiting the websites directly. Enjoy!
