For Any Grade Creative Writing Activities

Do you need an engaging writing resource for your fairy tale unit? We've covered all the elements, characters, and settings for the perfect story. Students build worlds, develop character profiles, and map a three-act structure for a fantastic fairy tale writing adventure!

The Benefits of Fairy Tales

Character Building - Fairy tales often feature clear-cut moral lessons about the importance of being kind, brave, and honest.

Creativity - Fairy tales are full of fantasy and magic, which can help children explore their creativity and expand their thinking.

Perseverance - Many fairy tales feature characters who overcome challenges and obstacles to achieve their goals. This can teach children they can overcome challenges if they never give up.

Social-emotional learning - Fairy tales often deal with complex emotions, such as fear, anger, and love. This can help children learn to identify and manage emotions.

The Fairy Tale Writing Planner Includes:

Outline - brainstorm and craft the main elements of their fairy tale with the outline planner. Who is the main character? Which challenges and rewards will their story explore? Lots of themes and keywords are included to choose from.

Character Profiles - students can build up to four character profiles for the heroes and villains in this new fairy tale! Explore personality traits, appearance, hopes and dreams, and more!

Structure - plot the framework for their fairy tale using a simplified three-act structure planner. This is a great way for students to keep their fairy-tale flowing and moving at the right pace.

World Builder - a great fairy tale world is rich in details, creatures, and landscapes. What is the name of this new fairy tale world? Who are its inhabitants? Set the scene for the main and secondary settings.

Themes and Characters - students can explore common fairy tale themes and characters (love, fairy godmothers, villains, good vs. evil, self-discovery)

Settings and Magical Items - from forests to castles to faraway lands, fairy tales can have a wide range of settings, each with its own unique features! Students also learn more about the purpose magical items serve and how to include them.

We've got even more details in our blog post The Best Guide Ever for Amazing Fairy Tale Writing and would love for you to check it out!

Here is our wordplay-themed Reading Log and Certificate Set! Our Reading Logs & Certificates are easy to print and ready to use. Once you and your young reader have decided on the amount of reading to be done, use a reading log to record the names of books, or the number of pages the child has read. When your reader has accomplished the goal, fill out this reading certificate and put it in a notebook, on the refrigerator or even in a frame to acknowledge the accomplishment. There are lots of different reading materials for children to choose from. Books are at the top of the list, but other reading materials may encourage reading and add an element of fun. Just for a guideline, some teachers and parents think that reading 200 pages = 1 book. You can adjust your reader's goals according to the level of difficulty of the material he or she is reading. Check out our Wordplay BUNDLE! Keywords: chickens | bee | owl | too hot to hoot

This donut writing activity is a great way to brighten up a final draft of a writing assignment! This template comes in two variations. Perfect addition to a classroom transformation or donut day!
