Bob & Barkley
by Mom On Middle
Barkley saw Bob coming and immediately laid down at the opening of his dog house. He didn't particularly like Bob, but he was feeling a little bored at the moment and Bob was a good diversion. Barkley laid his head down on his front legs. Bob hopped on top of Barkely's house hovering over the poor dog. He started to pace imitating Barkley's earlier actions. Barkley ignored him for a few minutes.
Bob wanted to startle Barkley so he hopped down hard right in front of the dog's nose. This usually would prompt Barkley to hop up and chase after Bob, but today he just didn't have it in him. Bob reached out his paw and batted at the dog. Barkley just turned his head and made a loud sigh. Bob got bored and started to head home.
That moment a car pulled into Barkley's driveway. Bob watched as the dog stood up, ran in circles and instantly cheered up. Bob realized that the dog missed his family. He could understand that. Today he would leave the poor dog alone, but tomorrow was another story.
To turn an oral story into a playful experience you could incorporate puppets or props into the storytelling. Listening to stories helps build up your child's language skills and adding the puppets would help them retell the story and build up their imaginations.

Do you tell stories to your children? What kind of stories do you tell?
