Activities for kids. Storytelling. Cinderella.

Kids love tales. They like listening the same story over and over again. I propose a storytelling activity for improve listening and speaking skills. The chosen tale is Cinderella.

Cinderella is an appropriate tale for second course of Primary Education (seven or eight years old) for several reasons. First of all, children know this tale and this circumstance is a great advantage. Moreover, the story has an interesting vocabulary that children can learn and, finally, the main objects of the tale are easier to bring to the classroom.

I propose to tell the children Cinderella story while I show them different objects that appear in the tale.

Glass slipper

Wand

At the end of the class, children may enjoy with the Ball dance of the film or perhaps with the whole movie.
