19. Story Telling Notes • The storyteller should practice TELLING or SPEAKING the story, one sentence at a time, not reading it. • If the storyteller doesn’t remember the complete sentence, he or she can stop, look again at the paper, remember it, and go on. • The listeners should close their eyes when listening to the storyteller. (It helps their imagination and concentration.) • The listeners should practice saying, “Uh-huh” or “OK” or “I see” after each time the storyteller pauses. This tells the storyteller that you understand.

20. Story Telling Notes • If you don’t understand, you need to say, “Hey, wait. Stop. I don’t understand.” “What did you say?” “Can you say that again?” • The listeners should try to answer the storyteller’s questions in complete sentences. • The listeners can ask the storyteller more questions to add the conversation more life and color. • The storyteller can ask one of the listeners by pointing him/her or by saying his/her name.

21. It’s Your Turn • Spade , be the story teller first. • If your group is fast. Then try to let Heart be the story teller. • Then Club , and then Diamond .
