Storytelling is when someone tells a story. It can be a story about something that actually happened, something made up, or even based on something real but with the details changed. A good storyteller can use stories to share lessons, entertain others, and even help someone find out more about themselves. A story can be told in a lot of ways, like with words, music, art, or a combination of all these things. Storytelling is used to express ideas, share history and culture, and even help solve problems. People have been telling stories since ancient times.
