      The Ariel Theatre from Valcea offered to the Pietrari School’s children the opportunity to participate to the show “Grandma's girl and grandpa's girl”.
        The story "Grandma's girl and grandpa's girl " is a Romanian folk tale written by Ion Creanga in which the contrast between two young women is presented, one hardworking and kind, and the other lazy and mischievous.
        The children were fascinated by the show and the characters.
        Through this show, the children understood that a story can be told in several ways: it can be read, it can be played, it can be sung.
        At the end of the activity, the children had a surprise from the theatre organizers.
        The children received colored chalk to draw elements observed during the show.
        The children put their imagination to the test and created many drawings representing elements observed in the show. 
       Sometimes a simple drawing says more than a thousand words.
       Through the drawing activity, the children developed their imagination and   told the story "Grandma's girl and grandpa's girl ".
