Story Surprise! is a great initiative by professional actors, Lauren and Anthony (Lauren Jimmieson and Anthony Craig). With a background in education and theatre, they have created a series of videos suitable for children aged from three to eight years, bringing books to life with stories, songs, and other activities.
'What started as a few videos to connect with friends and family across the globe has turned into a weekly themed adventure!'
Each of the videos, which are 10-15 minutes in length, features a diffferent theme and comes complete with original music. They are also aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework. Explore the Story Surprise! season 1 and season 2 playlists, and watch the example below which is the episode about megabeasts, especially great for kids who love dinosaurs.
