Storytelling is a flexible practice. Teachers can tell stories to children in any kind of movement situation--during meal times, like Ross does, or perhaps when confined to a broken down school bus, like Mike did once. Teachers can tell stories for all kinds of purposes--true stories, stories with a moral, or pure fantasy tales. Ross and Mike share tips and traditions of their storytelling experiences in the classroom, such as recurring characters like Backwards Bob. Tom points out that teachers may need to practice and prepare to feel ready. Joey suggests choosing "low stakes" moments to practice your skills. Ross encourages everyone to "just try."
