Face 2 Face Face 2 Face offers an innovative techinque of storytelling making the students participate actively in the devlopment of each tale.

Storytelling is an ideal vehicle for the teaching of English. Children love stories and feel at ease with them. If these stories are reinforced by gestures and the repetition of key words they are a very good tool in the development of language skills. All Face 2 Face's experience in teaching and the theatre comes together in our storytelling sessions which are both didactic and fun.

The activity is directed at small groups of 60 students per session with an maximum of three sessions in one day.

The three "stories" we have this year are:

Salty Sally (infantil, 1º/2º de primaria)

The Time Machine (3º - 6º de primaria)

Moonlight (1º - 4º de ESO)

The three theatre shows we have on tour this season are:

Monster Madness (3º - 6º de primaria)

Superlosers (1º - 4º de ESO)

McBeth's (3º/4º de ESO y bachillerato)

These shows are available all throughout Spain (except the Canary Islands) to be performed in schools as well as theatres and cultural centres. For more information on each of the shows click on the link "The Shows".
