Children's International Story-telling Programs are held one Sunday afternoon per month (except in December, June, July and August) in the Community Room of the International House, 10 College Park, Davis, from 2 to 3 pm. Doors open at 1:45. Each performance features the talents of various performers from Davis and the surrounding area. Every performance contains some form of international content. The program is designed for elementary school children in the 4 to 10 year range.

Regular activities that families attending these monthly programs can look forward to, are:

• children receive their own, individual passport to retain and return with to each performance. Individual performers will sign/stamp the passports, monthly.

• the opportunity to find and color-in their individual family home in Davis. We hope that this visual helps to provide children with an introductory, familiar perspective of a more global world. World maps are also available to provide reference to the country or culture to be visited that day, or, for families to find countries and cultures of their own origin.
• other culturally-related activities to participate in, or to take-home according to and specific to each performance.

This Children's International Story-telling Program, is financially supported by new Family Memberships to I-House, non-member donations at the door and the generous sponsorships of several of our local businesses -- A Better Place to Bead, Aesop's Room, Alphabet Moon, Ben and Jerry's, Mother and Baby Source, The Avid Reader Bookstore, The Paint Chip.
