The Frog Prince Story Innovation | Create Your Own Fairy Tale Writing Pack

Suggested ages: 6–10. Younger or less confident writers can develop ideas through discussion, drawing and adult-supported writing.

Inspire children to imagine, plan and write a fairy tale of their own using The Frog Prince as a starting point.

This illustrated Story Innovation booklet helps children change the characters, setting, lost object, promise and ending while keeping their ideas connected. With picture prompts, child-friendly examples and two planning options, pupils can develop their ideas through discussion, drawing and writing.

What’s included:

• Original story ideas: six key stages from The Frog Prince to explore before making changes.

• Picture idea map: illustrated choices for characters, precious objects, helpers, places, promises and endings.

• Three connected story examples: follow a child and an owl, a rabbit and a mole, or a dragon and an otter.

• “My own idea” spaces: two answer lines for each stage so children can record their own suggestions.

• Gather your ideas page: space to draw or jot choices before planning.

• Two flow-chart planning options: an open planner with guiding questions and a supported version with sentence starters.

• Completed original-story planner: a model showing how the six stages fit together.

• Story-writing pages: an opening page with illustration space and a continuation page.

• Pupil review checklist: prompts to check, improve and share the finished story.

• Teacher notes with suggested teaching steps, support, extension and printing guidance.

Skills children can practise:

• Adapting a familiar story to create something new.

• Developing characters, settings and problems.

• Connecting events through cause and effect.

• Planning a clear beginning, middle and ending.

• Rehearsing ideas aloud before writing.

• Reviewing and improving their work.

Ideal for fairy-tale topics, creative writing lessons, shared class stories and small-group work. Children can draw, dictate or work with an adult for extra support. More confident writers can add dialogue, description and a surprising ending that connects to earlier events.

Resource details: 13-page printable PDF. Colour cover with black-and-white interior pages to save ink. Most pages are A4 portrait; the three flow-chart planner pages are A4 landscape. Printing guidance is included.

For one teacher’s classroom or personal home-learning use.
