I had a hilarious moment last week during storytime at the school. I signed ‘duck’ and a kid shouted, ‘No, that’s a lion!’ It turned into a whole animal debate! Just goes to show how creative kids can be with interpretations. Anyone else have funny mix-ups like this during interpretation?
Those mix-ups can be the best part of interpreting! I once signed ‘silly’ and a kid thought I was talking about a ‘cereal’ — that led to a whole breakfast debate! It’s wild how kids’ minds work differently, isn’t it? Have you tried using props or visuals to help clarify during storytime?
I’ve had similar fun moments! Once, I signed ‘fish,’ and a kid thought I meant ‘wish’ — it spiraled into a wish-making round… Using props can definitely help, especially with kids who get creative with interpretations.
