Dragon Tales Viewing Guide

Dragon Tales has three primary educational goals:

Children are encouraged to. . .

1) Pursue the challenging experiences that support their growth and development.

2) Recognize that there are many ways to approach and learn from the challenging experiences in their lives.

3) Understand that to try and not succeed fully is a natural and valuable part of learning.

When you watch Dragon Tales with young children. . .

Encourage them to "problem-solve" along with the characters when they aren't sure what to do.

Use the stories to begin discussions about similar challenges the children face.

Participate with them in singing and dancing along with the dragons.

Provide opportunities and props for them to engage in dramatic play.

Read stories that touch on themes developed in the show.

Use the poster on the inside of the Dragon Tales brochure to help children recognize the places and characters, and create stories of their own. (Brochures are available from Learning Services at WFYI.)
