Cinderella Creative Writing Pack | Fairy Tale Story Planning & Writing

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

Turn a familiar fairy tale into a story of your own!

This Cinderella creative writing pack helps children explore the original story, change key details and plan their own fairy tale. Picture ideas, a completed Cinderella storyboard and two planning options support children as they move from talking through their ideas to writing.

Children can change the main character, special event, magical helper, lost object and ending, while thinking about how their ideas connect.

What’s included:

• Original Cinderella details to use as a starting point

• An illustrated ideas bank with alternative story choices

• A page for developing children’s own ideas

• Two six-part story planners: open prompts and sentence starters

• A completed Cinderella storyboard to model the story structure

• Story-writing pages, including space to illustrate a scene

• A pupil checklist for checking, improving and sharing

• Teacher’s notes and terms of use

Ideal for fairy tale topics, creative writing lessons, oral storytelling, shared writing and small-group activities.

Children can draw, rehearse their story aloud, dictate to an adult or write independently. The sentence starters offer extra support, while the open planner gives more confident writers room to develop their ideas.

A 12-page printable PDF with portrait activity pages and landscape story planners.

Choose and print the pages your pupils need.
