The powerful messages and themes in Kamishibai stories can
be expressed and experienced through student-created poetry and music.
As with the original stories, work can be done individually, in pairs
or with the entire class.
Teachers have shared with us the poems students have written, inspired by Kamishibai stories. Some of these poems have also been set to music.
Kamishibai stories have also been dramatized
by students composing theme songs for each of the main characters in
the story. Whenever the character appears, the theme song is sung.
