Folklore & Legends

Folklore & Legends | Little Roots Learning | Ages 2–9

Why have people been telling stories for thousands of years—and what happens to those stories as they're passed from one generation to the next?

In this 12-page study, learners explore the fascinating world of folklore, folktales, legends, myths, tall tales, oral tradition, and traditional storytelling.

Kids will meet figures like Anansi, Robin Hood, and Paul Bunyan, explore creatures from folklore around the world, investigate the difference between a story claim and historical evidence, create their own tall tale, adapt a traditional story, and even become a Folklore Collector by talking with someone in their own family or community.
