Study on Activation Strategy through Analysis on Children’s Acception of “Grandma Storyteller“ Storytelling and Convergence Play

In this study, we confirmed the existence of differentiated aesthetics in listening to stories and watching story plays and sought ways to revitalize the enjoyment of old stories by expanding the advantages of each situation. The characteristics found in “Grandma Storyteller” sites are as follows. First, listeners of oral performances focus on reconstructing the story in their minds for self-narrative purposes. Because children imagine stories through the act of listening, they imagine various scenes. Although this can be an opportunity to stimulate thinking activity, some individuals are unable to imagine certain scenes. Second, listeners of GrandmaStorytellersites compare and contrast what they heard from the storyteller’s thoughts with their own background knowledge. The characteristics of performance evaluation can be summarized as follows. First, when children watch a play, they do not imagine it but accept the delivered scenes as images. Second, when children watch a play and become emotionally immersed, they empathize with the characters and express their empathy through imitating behavior. Through the above analysis, two suggestions to improve Grandma Storyteller scenes were presented. First, storytelling scenes should provide children with a variety of opportunities to learn speech and conversation etiquette beyond conveying the story’s themes and morals. Second, after watching a play, the experience must be expanded by connecting with play activities that mirror reality and satisfy the five senses.
