Age Group: 3-7 (EYFS & KS1)
 

Anansi the Spider brings to life the tale of one of the great folk story heroes. Inspired by a wealth of traditional Ghanaian and Caribbean stories, this spidery tale will trick, sing and dance its way into children’s imaginations.  This participatory story transports the children to West Africa to the village where Aunt Nancy is getting ready to tell her tale. Using puppetry, multi-sensory play and song, the children help Aunt Nancy bring to life this African classic where all children can find themselves reflected.
