We have completed our study of original fairy tales in literature class, and it was a very enjoyable experience. Together we read The Little Mermaid and The Nightingale by Hans Christian Anderson, Rapunzel, The Frog Prince, and Rumplestiltskin by the Grimms brothers, and Sleeping Beauty, Bluebeard, and Little Red Riding Hood from Andrew Lang's The Blue Fairy Book.
The students completed weekly written and illustrated narrations of our reading, and to cap off the unit we played a fairy tale themed game of Who Am I?
I wrote the names of characters from the stories that we've read onto name tags, then stuck the name tags on the students' backs. They had to ask their classmates yes or no questions to find out what character they were, which ended up being a lot of fun. Not only did we enjoy the game, but it was an excellent test of everyone's understanding and knowledge of the stories!
