Episode 8 - Anansi and Turtle
from Dragonfly Tales Hosted by Emily Hanna-Grazebrook Dragonfly Tales
Welcome to the next episode of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children of all ages. This episode, we introduce a classic story archtype - The Trickster! Anansi the spider is a trickster - he's sneaky, funny and a bit lazy too! The Anansi stories were first told by the Ashanti people in Ghana, a country in West Africa. They were not written but passed down through telling from generation to generation. Until they had spread far and wide. They spread across oceans to the Caribbean – they crossed continents and are now told all over the world. Here is Leo's YouTube link to the Spider Puppet activity. It's nice and easy to make.
