Fairy Tales Activities for Preschool and Kindergarten

March 4, 2018

Fairy Tales were always an enjoyable unit for me to teach because students were normally familiar with the tales and the stories are always engaging! You can also teach many concepts during these lessons such as story structure, vocabulary, problem solving and more. Besides literacy skills, Fairy Tales also help build imagination and teach morals.

Are you looking for Fairy Tales activities for Preschool and Kindergarten. This bundle teaches 12 popular Fairy Tales and has activities for vocabulary, sequencing, comprehension, emergent readers, and more.

When teaching Fairy Tales, I spent anywhere from 3-5 days on each tale, doing a different activity each day. My Fairy Tales bundle covers 12 of the most popular tales and includes activities such as sequencing, vocabulary cards (which you could turn into puppets), comprehension, student books, and more. Depending if you teach 1 or 2 tales a week, this bundle can provide you activities for 6-12 weeks!
1. Whole Group Poster – After reading the fairy tale, I put these small posters in sheet protectors on my wipe-off board. These are very short summaries of the fairy tale we can use to refresh our minds of the Fairy Tale, without having to re-read the whole story. Throughout the week, we will use the summary to hunt for sight words, capital letters, the letter/sound of the week, punctuation, rhyming words, etc.

2. Vocabulary/Retelling Cards – Use these cards to introduce vocabulary words, or for retelling the story. During the week, I gave the students some smaller vocabulary cards for them to color and take home. The Fairy Tale book and the cards were added to my library center for students to work on retelling more. When reading the story, we went over any vocabulary words they may not know, and any history behind the poem.Are you looking for Fairy Tales activities for Preschool and Kindergarten.

3. Sequencing Worksheets – We all know how important sequencing is to learn, so I incorporated it with my Fairy Tale lessons. Students typically did this worksheet at the end of the week when the students were more familiar with the tale.

4. Student books –For students to practice reading independently and to work on book concepts, each student gets a small book of the shortened Fairy Tale. The text is the same that is listed on the bigger posters. Once colored, we practiced as a group pointing to the words as we read. Even Kindergarten students can learn to use the pictures to help them know what is going on in the book and they can somewhat follow along with the text. Students were able to pick a partner and go practice reading it together. They enjoyed taking this home because they can show off their reading skills to their family. It’s something to be proud of!!Are you looking for Fairy Tales activities for Preschool and Kindergarten.

5. Collection of Fairy Tales Book – I also gave students a copy of each tale, so we could have a whole books of Fairy Tales they know how to read. I’ve included 2 versions of the summary, so students can either color the picture or use the blank page to illustrate their own picture. You can once again, have students practice circling sight words.Are you looking for Fairy Tales activities for Preschool and Kindergarten.

6. Comprehension Worksheet – Finally, at the end of the week, I gave a short comprehension quiz. In Kindergarten, I didn’t take grades, but it’s nice to see who was comprehending and paying attention to the details in the Fairy Tales. I also liked seeing their writing progress throughout the months on the open ended question at the bottom.

      Hey Emy,
      The student books only come in black and white so the students can color them and you don’t have to waste ink. 🙂
