Persona Doll Storytelling Assignment
Background: What is a Persona Doll
(from Story Telling with Persona Dolls by Julie Bisson)
A dramatic play doll that lives in the “house area” or “family center” of the classroom is a doll whose name, age, identity, family, and even gender can change at any time a child in the classroom desires it. This allows the children to role play, experiment with, and act out real life incidents that they experience. These dolls are an essential component of an early childhood classroom.
However, a persona doll serves a different purpose. When a child is interacting with or “meeting” a persona doll, they are interacting with another member of the classroom. To achieve this, we create a persona doll whose name, birth date, family, likes, dislikes, etc. remain as constant as those characteristics do for real children in the classroom and whose life experiences unfold just like the real children’s in the classroom. This helps the children connect to the dolls and make them and the stories they tell much more powerful.
Persona dolls are kept in a place where children do not have immediate access to them but where they can be seen by children so they can ask to hold them, or ask to have them included in the day’s activities. This will ensure that you have some control over the doll’s “safety” as well as the ability to make sure that the dolls are being treated respectfully and their “identities” are being protected (i.e. If you have a doll that uses braces or a wheelchair, you can gently remind children who play with her that “Barbara only comes out of her wheelchair when she is going to bed”). Also, by having the dolls in view, there is a greater chance of them becoming integral members of the classroom.
Choosing Dolls and Creating Identities for the Dolls
For this assignment you will first identify a doll- either from something available within your the ECE classroom or brought from home, and use this for your storytelling. Remember, early childhood professionals are creative and also resourceful!
The dolls that you use and the identities that you create for them should be based on what you know about the children and families in your (imaginary) classroom.
1. Physical Characteristics
What racial groups are represented? What different shades of skin color are present? Think about their eye shapes and hair textures. What do those look like? What body types do the children have (thin, chubby, frail, strong)? What physical disabilities do children have (wheelchairs, crutches, glasses, braces)? Do any of the children have any distinguishing marks on their bodies such as moles or birthmarks or freckles?
2. Ethnic and Cultural Identities
What ethnic and cultural groups are represented in the classroom? Are there African Americans? Are there European Americans? Are there Chinese Americans? What about Native Americans? Children who have just arrived in the US and are not yet citizens and are Mexican or El Salvadorian or Russian, for example?
3. Socio-Economic Status
Do the families in your classroom struggle to make ends meet or do they seem to have the money they need? Do you have any families who are homeless? Looking for jobs? How many families have two adults earning an income? How many have just one working adult? Do any of the children in your class have older siblings that supplement the family income?
4. Family Make-up
Who are the family members of the children in the classroom? Do you have families with a mom and a dad? Just a dad or just a mom? Two moms, or two dads? Do you have children who are being raised by their grandmother or auntie or older sibling? How many of the children are in foster families? How many are adopted?
Develop an Identity for Your Doll
The next step for this assignment is to develop an identity for your doll based on who is (and who isn’t) a part of your (imaginary) classroom. Use the information listed above on choosing dolls and creating identities as a guide.
Now create at least three stories for your chosen doll, using the instructions below:
First Story
Develop a short story introducing the children in your (imaginary) class to the doll the first time you bring her/him to the group. Share basic information with the children about the doll, such as her/his name, age, and maybe who she/he lives with at home. You might also tell the children that this is her/his first day in the program and ask the children for help in making her/him feel welcome.
Second Story
Develop another short story that tells the children a little bit more about who this new “friend” is. This is a good time to tell a story about something that happened to the doll that is similar to experiences that many of the children have had (new sibling, moving to a new house, had a fight with a friend, was excluded from a game).
Third Story
Now that the children know more about their new friend, you are ready to tell a “deeper” story that deals with or introduces an anti-bias issue. Develop a story that addresses the incident or issue. Remember to keep in mind the ages and developmental stages of the children you work with as you write your story.

Write your stories and be ready to present them with your persona doll to class during Week 10.
Considerations Developing Stories for Persona Dolls
1. Building Connections
What are some of the experiences that all of the children have in common? Do they have a difficult time saying goodbye to their families in the morning? Do they cry or feel sad when their feelings are hurt? Are they concerned about who will be their friend? A story about something that most of the children have experienced creates a sense of community and connection to the doll. These are good stories to start with.
2. Validating and Supporting Differences
Do you see any differences that would cause a child to be teased or put down by other children? Do any children show sensitivity or shame about any part of who they are or what they like to do? For example, a child with a prosthesis, a girl who never wears dresses and only wants to play with the boys, children who refuse to speak their home language if it isn’t English, children not wanting to wear their glasses. A persona doll story can support and validate children who are perceived to be different.
3. Managing Conflict
Are there any conflicts that have occurred in the classroom that might be dealt with through a story? Is there a child in the group who has a hard time communicating and consistently alienates others? Are the children having a difficult time remembering to treat each other with respect? Are there any conflicts over space or materials?
4. Introduce Diversity
Can you think of some aspect of diversity that is not represented in your classroom that could be positively introduced through persona dolls? If Christmas is the only winter holiday celebrated by children in your class, you might introduce a doll that celebrates Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or Solstice. If you don’t have any children in your classroom with physical disabilities, this is a good time to talk about how your doll that has a wheelchair uses it.
