Working with the tales allows us to develop different skills in an attractive way for our young learners.
That is why today we have prepared some activities related with the tale of the Little Red Riding Hood but, as always, you could take the idea and adapt it to your target group.
At first, we are going to explain the tale to the students. We have planned it in a different way, paying attention, specifically, to the listening skill. The students are going to listen to the story while they look at the image given. Then, they should try to understand the story and talk to each other to make some conclusions about it.
We have used the Audacity Software to record the tale. With this tool we can change our voice depending on each character and add different sounds to make it more amazing.
When we have done the recording and we have save it as MP3 file, we just have uploaded it to SoundCloud, a web platform to store audio files.
Finally, we have copied the embed code that this platform gave to us to share the content.
Then, you could reinforce the learning of the content to make sure that the students have understood it. For example, you could make your students do some matching exercises using different tools that allow the teacher to create them. For example, Task Magic offers a wide variety of activities to create. However, you have to bear in mind that this tool has to be downloaded to your computer (that is why we can only share with you an image of the one that we have done for this subject).
In this case, the learner is developing reading skills and also preparing for the writing one. Therefore, you could continue with a writing activity like this:
Finally, we recommend doing a creative writing to have the chance of developing the writing skill and the speaking one. We can tell to our students that they have to think about an invented story.
Here is one activity made by Word for the creative writing (we have uploaded it to Scribd for sharing):

Hi Cristina!
ResponderEliminarI think that you have made a good job. I really like this blog as you have created a different kind of activities. I really do like the one you have done about little red riding hood. The activity in whcih children have to write i find quite interesting as it is not difficult for chidlren to write in the gaps provided the word from the story. I am sure that children are going to love it.
The colours used also are good at it doesn´t stop you when you are reading the activity.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for your feedback Tania. The images of the fond are from Google and that is true, they are really beautiful.
ResponderEliminarThanks for your feedback too, Mr Mauleon. I have tried to do the activities enjoyable and attractive at the same time that they have different levels of difficulty. It was great to hear that you like it.
