Testimonials
”Amazing process! Loved it all! The physical movements of each idea card makes it easier to understand and create ideas. Alex was so engaging and encouraging and awesome with my Kindy’s.”
Kindergarten, École John Wilson Elementary, Innisfail 2024-25
”Alex from Trickster storytelling was exciting and engaging for all of my students. He quickly recognized which students needed support and led the class through a dynamic hands‐on learning experience that inspired new language, big ideas and essentially an excellent story. My kindergarten students were fully engaged for an hour and the energy in our room was wonderful. We would encourage other elementary programs to share this learning opportunity with their student population.”
