How Does The magical science of storytelling | David JP Phillips | TEDxStockholm Work?

Storytelling is like building a special kind of castle that makes your imagination go on adventures.

Imagine you're sitting with your favorite toy, maybe it's a teddy bear or a robot. When someone starts telling a story, they're like a magic painter, drawing pictures in your head using words instead of crayons. You can see the castle growing taller and taller as each part of the story is added.

Stories have parts that help them come alive:

• A beginning, this is where everything starts, like when you press “play” on your favorite cartoon.
• A middle, things get exciting, just like when your robot goes on a big mission.
• An end, everything wraps up nicely, and you feel happy or surprised, like when your teddy bear finds a new friend.

Stories are like little time machines. They can take you to faraway places or even back in time. You don’t need a spaceship, just the power of words and imagination!

Every story is like a special kind of puzzle, and when it’s finished, you feel like you’ve gone on a journey with your favorite toy, all from sitting still and listening!
