Children love fairy tales! Time tested and full of educational value; fairy
tales are also fun and memorable. Fairy Tale Fun Units are two week
units created for PreK 4/5, Kindergarten, and 1st grade students.
The units are full of hands-on fairy tale fun, literacy activities, and cross-
curricular learning. Included in each unit are suggested plans for use with
each grade, puppets and props, an original retelling, crafts, literacy
activities, file folder games, copywork, Math and Science connection
activities, and more.
Story retelling is at the center of the units. Retelling helps develop skills
needed for summarization in higher grades. With prompting and
guidance, children in Pre-K 4/5, Kindergarten, and 1st grade can identify
characters, setting, and major events in a story through retelling.
Story retelling allows children to actively participate in a story,
increasing language development, comprehension, and interest in
literature.
Most color pages have black & white versions, so you can choose to keep
printing costs low.
Story retelling is a wonderful addition to a young childs education and play. Story
retelling allows children to actively participate in the story, increasing language
development, comprehension, and interest in literature. Retelling builds skills needed
for summarization in higher grades.
As much, or as little cost and effort can be put into the puppets as desired. Most
children will enjoy the play whether the puppets are printed on the lowest ink settings
in black and white to be used for paper retelling on a tabletop or clear area of floor, or
printed on cardstock, colored, and laminated to be used with a purchased or homemade
feltboard.
A younger child will enjoy you playing the story with them and may need prompting
and guidance to include the key events from the story. A child as young as four can,
with prompting and guidance, identify key details, characters, setting, and major events
through retelling. An older child may want to play the entire story by his or her self.
Ideally a child will be given time after retelling to explore the story further through play
with the puppets. Many children will enjoy rearranging the elements of the story or
creating their own versions.
Paper Retelling
For paper retelling, print the black and white puppets and props on copy paper.
Optionally, a child who enjoys coloring can color the puppets and/or props while you are
reading the story. The puppets are simply cut out and used for retelling the story. Any
bare surface could be used, a tabletop or clear area of floor is fine.
Feltboard Retelling
To make puppets for a feltboard, print the pages on cardstock, color, cut out, and
laminate. Cut around the puppet, leaving about 1/8-1/4 of laminate. For smaller
items and accessories you may want to leave an extra 1/4 of laminate so that you can
optimally position the velcro. The hook side of a sticky velcro dot can be adhered to the
back of the puppets, or a small cut piece of the hook side of a velcro strip can be
adhered with fabric glue. There are instructions for making your own feltbaord on the
next page. if you dont own one or prefer making to buying. For a smaller feltboard,
most printers have the ability to scale down the size of pictures or the option to print
two pages on one. You can scale down the size of the puppets to fit the size of your
feltboard. Puppets and props can be stored in a gallon sized bag and used again and
again.

How to Make Your Own Feltboard
What you need:
spray adhesive
fabric glue
a yardstick
scissors
First gather your supplies and cut the cardboard and felt to the correct size. Use the picture below
and measurements above as your guide. Cut out a small square of fabric from each corner as the
picture shows. This will help the fabric fold over easily on the back of the cardboard. Pick a well
ventilated area to use the spray adhesive. I made mine outside. Position the fabric on the cardboard.
Lift the fabric up from one side and working quickly, but carefully, spray the underside of the fabric
and press it onto the cardboard, bit by bit. Make sure the fabric is laying smoothly. If you have
someone to help you with this part, recruit them! The yardstick can be helpful in smoothing down the
felt.
Turn the cardboard and adhered fabric over. Fold each 6 flap of fabric over the cardboard, one at a
time, and use the fabric glue to adhere them. Now you have a nice feltboard to use with your kids!

Little Red Riding Hood Story ~ retold by Tate Jones
A long time ago, in the middle of the woods, a young girl lived with her mother. Because
the girl was so loved, her mother and grandmother gifted her with a beautiful, red riding
hood. Thereafter she wore the beloved cloak so often, she came to be called Little Red
Riding Hood.
One day, her mother said to her, Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing,
for Ive heard that she is ill. She dotes on you so, only give her your smiles with this basket
of healthy food and surely shell feel better in no time. Go straight there and do not stop
along the way. Little Red Riding Hood had only to follow a short trail though the woods to
get to her grandmothers cottage.
Little Red Riding Hood set out into the wood, basket of food in hand. Along the trail she
met a wolf, who in her innocence she did not fear. Treading light, the slim, gray wolf moved
silently towards her.
The wolf greeted her and asked, Where are you off to this fine day?
Little Red Riding Hood replied, Im off to my grandmothers cottage, nearby. She is ill
and I am to cheer her with this basket of food.
The wolf dipped his head in thought, I wish your grandmother well. He left as quietly
as he had come.
The wolf would have eaten Little Red Riding Hood right then, had there not been a
woodcutter, with a sharp ax, bundling wood nearby. In his cleverness, the wolf went swiftly,
instead, to the grandmothers cottage.
Little Red Riding Hood continued along the trail; she stopped now and then to gather
nuts or pretty stones, to chase after butterflies, and to pick the petals off flowers as children
will do.
The wolf arrived first at the cottage and knocked at the door.
The wolf copied the childs voice as well as he could, It is your grandchild. Ive brought
you a basket of food.
In a rush, the wolf opened the door, sprang to the bedside, and gobbled the grandmother
up in one swallow. He disguised himself in a nightgown, pulled the curtains shut tight, and
waited in the bed for the girl.
Little Red Riding Hood Story ~ page 2
Sometime afterwards, Little Red Riding Hood arrived at the cottage and knocked at the
door. Its Little Red Riding Hood. Ive come to help you feel better.
Come in, my dear, the wolf replied, copying the grandmothers manner as best he
may.
Little Red Riding Hood entered the cottage. She frowned and squinted, her eyes adjusting
to the dimness of the room, as she looked at the figure in grandmothers bed.
The better to eat you with! Saying these words the wolf gobbled up the screaming girl
in one swallow.
Hearing the terrified screams, the nearby woodcutter grabbed up his ax, ran to the
cottage, flung open the door, and hit the wolf upon the head with the ax handle. The
woodcutter dragged the sleeping wolf outside. Carefully with his sharp ax, he slit open the
wolfs belly, letting out Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, who thanks to the
wolfs gluttonous nature were alive and in one piece.
Thereafter Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother remained friends with their
rescuer, the woodcutter, and remembered with gratefulness their luck at being alive.
