Mixed-up fairy tales!

Created by

upstARTS ELEMENTARY

A great activity for students grades 2-4 who have a natural interest and ability in writing, or as a whole-class activity for older students, Mixed-up fairy tales introduces students to story summary while enjoying the fun of the fortune-teller game. Students draw scenes, and record 8 summary sentences onto a paper fortune teller and enjoy re-telling their story with friends - but all mixed up! Works very well with small groups - gifted and talented.
