New fairy tale ending

Children listen to a well-known fairy tale and invent their own surprising ending for it.

Steps

1. The teacher reads a well-known fairy tale (e.g. Cinderella or Little Red Riding Hood) and stops before the end.
2. Children in small groups invent a different ending.
3. They draw it in the form of a comic strip in three frames.
4. Groups narrate their endings.
5. Finally, you read the original ending and compare.

Tip: Staple the comic strips into a booklet and put it in the class library.

Materials needed
