Curriculum: Humpty the Untold Story

Description

Humpty Untold Story is a highly imaginative speech, drama, and character development curriculum designed to turn children from passive learners into confident storytellers, thinkers, and creators.

Instead of simply reciting nursery rhymes, this curriculum challenges children to ask questions, explore possibilities, and build stories beyond what is given. What happened before Humpty sat on the wall? Why did Jack and Jill go up the hill? Who are these characters beyond the rhyme?

This curriculum consists of 12 carefully designed lessons, each building progressively from guided storytelling and structured thinking to creative story development, role-play, and performance.

Designed for toddlers to 8 years old, this program adapts beautifully across age groups—offering simple story expansion and imaginative play for younger learners, and deeper critical thinking, structured storytelling, and performance work for older children.

Books, Stories & Resource Inspirations

This curriculum draws inspiration from a rich collection of nursery rhymes and storytelling resources, including works such as Mother Goose by Arthur Rackham, Pappa Gander: The Less Better Half of Mother Goose by Robby Charters, Humpty Dumpty Climbs Again by Dave Horowitz, Jack and Jill by Debbie Barry, and Japanese Nursery Rhymes by Danielle Wright, alongside titles such as Proud Rooster & the Fox and Jubilee!. Through these familiar and cross-cultural stories, children are guided to expand, adapt, and reimagine narratives—transforming simple rhymes into meaningful, creative storytelling experiences.
