Online Storytelling Classes for Kids in Kolkata | Ages 3–7
Where Stories Help Young Minds Speak, Imagine and Grow
Stories are among the earliest ways children discover language, emotions, imagination and the world around them.
Jibon-O-Jeebika’s live online storytelling classes for kids aged 3 to 7 years are designed to make this natural love for stories an engaging learning experience.
Through carefully selected Bengali and English stories, children develop vocabulary, listening skills, comprehension, confidence and creative thinking in an enjoyable and age-appropriate environment.
Our storytelling classes go beyond simply reading a story aloud.
Children listen, observe, respond, predict, draw, discuss characters, answer questions and gradually learn to express stories and ideas in their own words.
Storytelling Course for Preschool and Early Learners
Young children learn best when learning feels like play.
Our storytelling programme has therefore been designed especially for children between 3 and 7 years of age, when language development, imagination, listening ability and communication skills are rapidly evolving.
Each story becomes an opportunity to introduce children to new words, ideas, emotions, numbers, surroundings and everyday situations.
Instead of placing pressure on children to memorise information, our mentors encourage them to think, participate and communicate naturally.
The aim is simple:
To help children become curious listeners, imaginative thinkers and confident communicators.
More Than Just Listening to Stories
A good storytelling class should make children active participants.
Depending on the story and age group, children may be encouraged to:
- identify characters and objects
- learn new Bengali and English words
- answer simple comprehension questions
- predict what may happen next
- describe pictures and situations
- draw scenes or characters
- arrange events in sequence
- express emotions and opinions
- retell portions of the story
- create their own endings or ideas
These activities make learning enjoyable while encouraging children to communicate freely.
