Fairy Tale Characters LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Fairy tales use the same kinds of characters again and again. There is often a hero who is small or poor but brave. There is a villain who wants to stop them, like a witch or a giant. There is usually a helper who gives advice or a magic gift. Things often happen three times: three wishes, three brothers, three tries. Once you know the pattern, you can guess what will happen next in a tale you have never heard. Questions: 1 What is the hero of a fairy tale often like? 2 What does the helper do? 3 What number happens again and again? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
3 Steps LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Some stories can be told in three steps. First, something happens to start it off. Next, the character does something about it. Last, we find out how it ended. Putting the steps in the right order matters, because the ending will not make sense if the middle is missing. Words like first, next, and last help a listener follow you. Questions: 1 What are the three steps? 2 Why does the order matter? 3 Which words help a listener follow? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
4 Steps LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. A longer story can be told in four steps. First, we meet the character and the place. Second, a problem appears. Third, the character tries to solve it. Fourth, we learn how it turned out. Adding a step lets you show that solving a problem often takes a try before it works. Use the words first, then, next, and finally to keep the order clear. Questions: 1 What are the four steps? 2 What does the extra step let you show? 3 Which words keep the order clear? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy

Fairy Tale Castle LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Real castles were built for defence, not for beauty. Thick stone walls kept attackers out, and narrow slit windows let archers shoot without being hit. A deep ditch called a moat made it hard to reach the walls, and the only way in was over a drawbridge that could be raised. Inside there was a well, so the people could still drink if the castle was surrounded. Castles in fairy tales have towers and flags, but a real one was cold, dark, and crowded. Questions: 1 Why were castle windows narrow slits? 2 Why was there a well inside? 3 How was a real castle different from a fairy-tale one? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
