Reading Tips: Making Christmas Bedtime Stories Come Alive

Here are some tips to make your kids’ reading time memorable:

Each character in the story can have a distinct voice. Distinguish between a jolly Santa voice, a high-pitched elf, or a soft-spoken snowman. This makes the story more dynamic and keeps listeners engaged.

Sound Effects: Use everyday items around the house or even smartphone apps that play sound effects. The sound of jingle bells, hooves on rooftops, or a crackling fireplace can transport your listener right into the story.

Use Props: If you’re reading about Santa’s hat, why not wear one? Props like a reindeer antler headband, a candy cane, or even a small wrapped gift can add an interactive element to the story.

Interactive Pauses: Ask questions like, “What do you think will happen next?” or “How do you think the character feels?” This makes the listener think and predict, increasing their involvement in the story.

Setting the Scene: Dim the lights, light a vanilla or pine-scented candle, and snuggle up with a warm blanket. Creating a cozy environment can make the storytelling experience even more magical.

Remember, the goal is to make the story immersive and memorable. With a little creativity, you can turn storytime into a magical Christmas adventure!
