Recently we have been focused on fairy tales during reading and engineering time. I have read aloud some traditional stories like The Three Little Pigs and students have read and listened to other stories. We also incorporated some fairy tale building challenges that I got for our class through the Donors Choose program. With each kit students could practice retelling and acting out the story with the character pieces. They could also try to design a structure to meet that story's challenge.
Trying to build a house big enough for all three little pigs that the wolf cannot blow down:
Trying to build a bridge that goes over the troll that can hold all three billy goats:
Trying to build a chair that can hold even the biggest of the three bears:
We will be continuing to focus on fairy tales in our next engineering challenge! You can read more about that on in a future post!
