Storyplay Schools is a unique project designed to support the development of children’s literacy, language and confidence through the introduction of shared stories and inclusive play across the whole school community – children, families teachers and PSA’s.

Residencies can include LicketyLeap, Playcard Play, Family Porridge & Play, Storyplay Champions (P6,P7 or parents/carers), Storyplay into Literacy modules and more, designed with the school. Find out more here.

Licketyspit Storyplay Schools include:

• Canal View Primary, Westerhailes, Edinburgh.

• St Mary’s RC Primary, Maryhill, Glasgow.
• Riverside Primary, Govan, Glasgow.
• Ibrox Primary, Ibrox, Glasgow.
• Wyndford Nursery, Maryhill, Glasgow.

Teachers and headteachers rave about the impact of Storyplay in their schools:

“Children who would normally be reluctant to contribute to discussions are willingly offering ideas and solutions as they are caught up in the imaginative world of Licketyspit.”

Term 2 Celebration Assembly – P6 Story Performances
22nd March

The intense creative work of the P6A and P6B Playground Play Champions over the last few weeks paid off on Friday. when they shared their wonderful stories at the Storyplay Term 2 Celebration Assembly.

These stories were created by the pupils with Ruby, Effie and Amy from Licketyspit. They then turned them into short performances, and after a few short rehearsals, shared these with the rest of the school.

We were so impressed by everyone who got up on stage to perform, even if they had felt nervous beforehand.

Having developed Granny Characters using the Lickety Playcard games last term, and putting these characters into different scenarios in In the Way of the Word and What Are You Doing? earlier this term, the P6s brought all of their imaginary play ideas together in these stories.

Thank you all for showing everyone in the school where imaginary play can take you. The games, rhymes and songs of the Lickety Playcards are just the beginning  – through Storyplay you can be anyone, go anywhere, do anything!

‘In the Way of the Word’ – Active Grannies!
31st Jan

We had a great time returning to our Granny characters this week with P6.

We created these characters in the first term and introduced them to the whole school at the Celebration Assembly in November 2018.

This week, we played ‘In the Way of the Word’ – dressed up as our Granny characters!

Then everyone drew and wrote about their character and what they might have been doing later on…
