Make a Change

In Cinderella , the fairy godmother changed everyday things into things that Cinderella used for the ball. Have children imagine they could change an everyday object into something fantastic. Ask children to:

  • divide a sheet of paper into two sections, top and bottom.
  • draw and label an everyday object at the top of the paper.
  • draw and label, at the bottom of the paper, what they would change the everyday item into.
  • write what they would do with the new object.

Happily Ever After?

Cinderella and the Prince live happily ever after—or do they? Tell what happens to Cinderella and the Prince after they marry. Do they go to school? Get jobs? Have kids? Move to another place?
