Fairy Stories

Creating Stories with Happy Endings

Have you read fairy stories about wicked step sisters, and wolves which eat pigs and and

witches that cook children in ovens…

and of princesses who kiss frogs turning them into handsome princes ?

Can you retell or rewrite an old fairy story, either on your own or with a group or your class and can create new stories with truly happy endings.

.....ones in which everyone wins

 What are happy endings ???

How can everyone in the story win ?

It is important to resolve problems in this world

in a way that ensures everyone wins.

We must all believe in happy endings so

that we work towards them.

Happy endings for everyone may bring about world peace....

but thinking about and acting upon this idea must begin with each of us.
