Fairy Tales Activities for Kindergarten • Tickled Pink in Primary
Do you need some Fairy Tales Activities? Fairy Tales were always an enjoyable unit for me to teach, so I created a whole bundle of activities to go along with each story. You can also teach many concepts during these lessons such as story structure, vocabulary, problem solving and more. Besides literacy skills, Fairy Tales also help build imagination and teach morals.
When teaching Fairy Tales, I spent anywhere from 3-5 days on each tale, doing a different activity each day. My Fairy Tales Activities bundle covers 12 of the most popular fairy tales including many of the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales. This bundle includes activities such as sequencing, vocabulary cards (which you could turn into puppets), comprehension, student books, and more. Depending if you teach 1 or 2 tales a week, this bundle can provide you activities for 6-12 weeks!
1. Whole Group Poster – After reading the fairy tale, I put these small posters in sheet protectors on my wipe-off board. These are very short summaries of the fairy tale we can use to refresh our minds of the Fairy Tale, without having to re-read the whole story. Throughout the week, we will use the summary to hunt for sight words, capital letters, the letter/sound of the week, punctuation, rhyming words, etc.
2. Vocabulary/Retelling Cards – Use these cards to introduce vocabulary words, or for retelling the story. During the week, I gave the students some smaller vocabulary cards for them to color and take home. The Fairy Tale book and the cards were added to my library center for students to work on retelling more. When reading the story, we went over any vocabulary words they may not know, and any history behind the poem.
3. Sequencing Worksheets – We all know how important sequencing is to learn, so I incorporated it with my Fairy Tale Activities. Students typically did this worksheet at the end of the week when the students were more familiar with the tale. This sequencing activity is included in my Free Resource Library.
4. Student books –For students to practice reading independently and to work on book concepts, each student gets a small book of the shortened Fairy Tale. The text is the same that is listed on the bigger posters. Once colored, we practiced as a group pointing to the words as we read. Even Kindergarten students can learn to use the pictures to help them know what is going on in the book and they can somewhat follow along with the text. Students were able to pick a partner and go practice reading it together. They enjoyed taking this home because they can show off their reading skills to their family. It’s something to be proud of!!
5. Collection of Fairy Tales Book – I also gave students a copy of each tale, so we could have a whole books of Fairy Tales they know how to read. I’ve included 2 versions of the summary, so students can either color the picture or use the blank page to illustrate their own picture. You can once again, have students practice circling sight words.
6. Comprehension Worksheet – Finally, at the end of the week, I gave a short comprehension quiz. In Kindergarten, I didn’t take grades, but it’s nice to see who was comprehending and paying attention to the details in the Fairy Tales. I also liked seeing their writing progress throughout the months on the open ended question at the bottom.
We also discussed characters, settings, and do a lot of comparing/contrasting during our Fairy Tale lessons. If you like some of the ideas above, you can find them in my Fairy Tales Activities bundle right here in my Tickled Pink shop or on TPT.
Here are the Fairy Tales that are included in this bundle. You can use this for 6-12 weeks of learning, depending on how many tales you do a week!! Need a copy of the book to go with these tales? Simply click the links below and find them on Amazon.

*****
Rapunzel is one of most well-known fairy tales for kids by the Grimm Brothers which was written more than 200 years ago but it is still truly enjoyed by kids. This fairy tale is about a nice girl with beautiful long hair. She is kept in a high tower by the wicked Witch.
The second story is Puss in Boots, one of fairy tales from the collection by Charles Perrault. The story appeared in the middle of the 17th century and is about a smart cat who manages to gain power, wealth, prosperity and princess’s love for his poorly and low-class born master.
*****
The Princess and the Pea, written by Hans Christian Andersen and published in 1835, tells a story about a young princess whose real identity is discovered with the help of a pea. She is given a shelter in a Prince’s house and offered to sleep in a bed with twenty matrasses and twenty feather beds. In the morning she complains that she couldn’t sleep all night as she felt something really hard in the bed.
The prince is convinced that only a truly royal person can feel that and eagerly marries the princess.
*****
The bedtime story collection from Kids Academy is followed by Three Little Pigs by Joseph Jackson, a fairy about three anthropomorphic piglets who build their houses of different materials, namely of straw, sticks and bricks. One day The Big Bad Wolf shows up and destroys the shabby houses made of straw and sticks. And only the house of bricks does not fall down.
Cinderella, also known as The Little Glass Slipper by Charles Perrault, a must-read-to-kids fairy tale, is also in the bedtime stories compilation. The fairy tale tells about a poor girl who has a wicked step mother and two stepsisters. Cinderella’s fairy godmother helps her find true love and become happy.
*****
Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale with a catchy plot so loved by kids. It is a story about a little girl, her grandmother and the wicked wolf who swallows both of them. The Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother are luckily saved by a huntsman.

This app is wonderful for my 7 years old son! :) It focuses on basic reading, writing, and math skills. The reward system is great and consistent!

Daughter's favorite
Still a top favorite for our 7 year old.
She loves earning her stars as she learns to trace letters and numbers. Coloring and the sounds are engaging and are on target for her age group and being Pre K.
