This activity can be used to close the evening by either showing the story or listening to it.

Turn off the lights and have children either sit on the floor, if watching it or lay down on the floor, if listening to it.

If you have the technology, stars can be projected onto the ceiling.

Run it outdoors, if it is a beautiful night and you can see the stars.

Let the story begin.
