Guest Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 has anyone got any planning on traditional fairy stories please. Thanks
Helen Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 It's a great theme for early years, isn't it? We've covered the Three lIttle Pigs very successfully in the past, and it lends itself to all sorts of interesting activities: * 3D work with recycled materials to build houses * tests to see how strong straw really is! * building outside with sticks, to make dens, etc *making stick puppets and acting out the story * doing lots of work with the concept of "3" I'm sure that others will come up with some great suggestions. In the meantime, have you done a search for traditional stories?
Beau Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Hi Beverly, I'm going to move your two topics out of Profiles into the Topics section of the forum. Have a good look round there as there may be something already that will be of help to you.
Guest Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 thank you so much for your replies. some useful suggestions x
Guest Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Mine chose 'billy Goats Gruff' last year. We acted it out with puppets and then ourselves - great discussions about what we could use for the bridge and alternative endings to the story. I had goats and a troll in the tuff spot with lovely grassy turf on one side and compost on the other - again lots of discussion around what we could use for the bridge and the stream. I also loved doing Goldilocks and the children loved having real porridge oats to play with in the home corner.
Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 i made "thinking cards" based on fairy tales. every morning at circle time I would hold up a card with a "think" on it. (words and pictures to prompt) then we would have a"think" and say what we thought! some of them were: What would i have built my house with if I was a little pig? What would I have done if I found the three bears house? What present would I give a baby princess? What would I do if I got lost in a wood? Would I eat an apple if a stranger gave me one? If I could have a wish what would I wish for? What would I say to a wolf? How would I help clean the seven dwarves house? how would I hide from a giant? (possible to go on forever! and in fact was so succesful i have a "think" every morning now about anything)
Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Love the thinking idea...*rushes off to make some cards
