Story Retelling Short stories 'Who, Where, When, What happened, What happened next, the end', prompt cards. Pencils	Tell the story yourself first. Discuss the prompt cards with the children, and explain that it is important they remember to answer all of the questions on the cards when they are telling their stories. Have one child at a time take a turn to retell the story. Go over the cards to see if they have included all the details.	If it is a familiar story to the child you could just give them time to remember it instead of telling it yourself first.
