The Princess and the Pea Sequence & Write | Fairy Tale Retelling Activities

Bring The Princess and the Pea to life with an illustrated story and three levels of hands-on retelling. Children learn the story first, then cut, mix and sequence the pictures using the level of support that suits them.

THREE WAYS TO RETELL

1. Sequence and write: children cut out the picture-and-writing panels, mix them up, put them in story order, then write what is happening in each picture.

2. Sequence and match: children sequence the same panels, then cut out and match captions instead of writing. The captions fit inside the writing boxes.

3. Picture-only story map: children cut out the picture cards, mix them up and arrange them on the circular story map. No reading or writing is required.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

• A colourful cover, teacher guide and terms of use

• A two-page illustrated retelling with six story events

• Two pages of picture-and-writing panels with a word bank

• Mixed, unnumbered caption cards

• A clockwise circular story map and matching picture cards

SUGGESTED AGES: 5–9

Useful for mixed-ability classes, small groups, oral storytelling and home learning. Choose one retelling level for each child; children do not need to complete all three.
