Graham brings a wide and fascinating collection of props and objects to accompany this collection of short stories which culminate in the Gingerbread Man. The performance is suitable for reception and/or year one children, all of whom will be enthralled by the Graham's storytelling. The stories are separated by songs, music played on a variety of instruments and dancing games for all the children to participate in. The tales also involve lots of children's participation by encouraging them to contribute suggestions and involving some children in acting a number of the characters in the stories.
The stories are varied in style and content, being magical, scary and very funny. They are performed and arranged in such a way that Graham has not yet met a class of children that will fail to be involved for the 60 or 70 minutes duration of each performance.
Graham's version of the Gingerbread Man follows the short lived and linguistically confused biscuit hero's attempt to flee the characters that wish to eat him.
To ensure success Graham prefers to work with just one class of children at a time with this project . 

1 hour--1 class

This project is especially designed for foundation classes and an hour will not be too long.
