Lesson Overview

About this worksheet

A fairy tale is a short make-believe story full of magic. It often begins “Once upon a time” and includes magical characters such as royalty, fairies, or talking animals. The hero faces a problem, magic or a clever idea helps solve it, and the story ends happily ever after. This worksheet helps students learn the parts and plan a fairy tale of their own.

Section A on page 1 asks eight short questions about how a fairy tale works. The reference box shows the parts with a shoemaker-and-the-elves example, so students have the information they need to answer.

Section B on page 2 has students plan their own fairy tale – an opening line, a magical character, a problem and its magic, and a happy ending. Page 3 is a complete answer key with sample answers. The skill builds on narrative and creative writing.
