In the land of make believe anything can happen! Fairy Tales do make us believe just that. It also makes children use their imagination. Fairy Tales take us to many places that we wouldn't be able to visit just for fun! Kids love magical-mystical happenings. Some children will be able to make connections in their own lives with that of the fairy tale. Remember the mean step-mother in Cinderella! In this day and age most step-mothers are warm, kind and loving. What would occur in the story if Cindy's mother wasn't so self-centered and mean? Sounds like a beginning of a new story for the children to write!

FAIRY
TALES ONLINE:
Print out your own set of fairy tales for your fairy
tales and legends unit with this online collection. Well over one
hundred fairy tales are available, including both traditional stories and tales
you might not recognize as easily. A great class project for your unit would be
to illustrate these tales, collecting them in a class book, and choosing one to
create either a play or a reader's theater version for a holiday presentation.
