Storytelling for All Ages

Grades K-5

Muriel Johnson interweaves stories and songs to educate, inspire, and entertain young audiences. Elementary-age children are naturally curious and astute learners, and for this age group, Muriel presents a lively patchwork of multicultural and African Diasporic fables, folktales, and songs—from West African Anansi tales to clever Native American trickster stories and more. All performances are interactive, featuring movement, singalongs, rhythmic claps, and chants. Muriel carefully selects stories to match her audience’s age and maturity, engaging young children with song, movement, and call-and-response techniques that keep them focused and eager to participate. Her use of repetition, paired with interactive elements, naturally encourages students to anticipate “their part” in the storytelling. They feel as though they are co-creating the experience, drawn in by her expressive style and the unexpected twists that keep them guessing until the end.

Grades 6-12

For middle and high school students, Muriel’s storytelling is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Her tales are filled with layered characters, moral dilemmas, clever twists, and humor that capture the attention of adolescents while sparking critical thinking. With an animated delivery that includes rhythm, song, bold character voices, and sharp wit, she captivates even the most skeptical youth. Muriel actively engages her audience by asking questions, encouraging reflection, and inviting discussion, creating an interactive experience that resonates long after the story ends. Ask ChatGPT
