Handa’s Surprise – A Multicultural Storytelling Adventure
Travel deep into the heart of Kenya with Handa’s Surprise, a vibrant and interactive storytelling workshop that celebrates friendship, generosity, and the colourful cultures of the world. Guided by the magical Story Tree, children step into Handa’s shoes as she sets out to visit her friend Akeyo with a basket full of delicious fruits balanced carefully on her head. But as she walks through the sun-soaked landscape, cheeky animals sneak behind her to steal the fruits one by one—leading to an unexpected and joyful surprise at the journey’s end.
Brimming with rhythm, rhyme, repetition, and soundscapes, this workshop invites every child to become part of the story—making animal calls, building playful noises, and joining in with the excitement as Handa’s adventure unfolds. Along the way, pupils explore themes of sharing, kindness, and cultural diversity while experiencing the beauty of African storytelling traditions. Perfect for multicultural learning and literacy, Handa’s Surprise is a lively, sensory journey that fills the room with laughter, discovery, and the magic of stories from around the world.
