The Lion and Mouse
(two versions)
|
Aesop's Fables are an
entertaining way to foster the love of reading, increase vocabulary
and learn a life lesson that will be useful to our children for the
rest of their lives.
I suggest a good place to start is to explain or review in simple terms what
is a fable.
fable - story that teaches a
lesson: a short story with a
moral, especially one in which the characters are animals.
Children love fables because most of them feature animals as the
main characters.
Here is a list of printable materials to use for the activity -
links are in the materials column. Note: No words or
letters were added to the activity/party card and puzzle craft
templates so these can be adapted by viewers wishing to use them in
other languages and to allow for educators to choose their lettering
of choice: standard or modern manuscript.
