Description

Looking to add to your fairy tale unit with Jack and the Beanstalk story activities? Your students can engage in differentiated comprehension activities to help them build and identify story parts, oral retelling or sequencing, character traits, and opinion response. Extend the learning with more literacy and math activities as students practice ABC Order, letter scrambles, and a magic bean math game!

This unit includes:

Retell Craftivity- Black/white AND color pieces to cut and glue to create a setting and color cut and glue characters to make Popsicle stick puppets to move along the setting as they retell! The color pieces are great for making a sample or creating the set for students to use in a retelling center!

Vocabulary cards- Common words and characters from the story are included on vocabulary cards. Great to support the enclosed writing activities.
