Snow White

By Christine Jenkins – education writer

Traditional tales such as Snow White can provide a great starting point for a range of cross-curricular activities about story structure, themes and characters.

Story Maps

Curriculum links: Literacy (story retelling and sequencing AF4); Geography (simple mapping skills and conventions); Art (selecting and using a range of materials)

Children can work in pairs or groups to devise their own ‘maps’ of the story. This will help them to sequence the key events and begin to explore setting. Start by talking about where the various events of the story take place (palace, forest, the dwarfs’ cottage and so on).
