Retelling the Three Little Pigs

Once we have practiced retelling familiar routines, we can move onto retelling familiar stories. We want a child to attempt to communicate their understanding of the story, and what the story means to them.

Lets watch The Three Little Pigs again!

When learning to retell a familiar story, it is best to support and guide children by using props. We want to keep in mind the plot, the setting and the characters.  I have emailed out a few pages of props for you to print,  colour, and cut out. You can glue the characters to popsicle sticks if you have them, but it is not necessary!
  
 Your child can start by acting the story out while the video is playing (or while you are reading the book), and then move to doing it independently. Encourage them to use phrases from the story ("Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in", etc.), and to use emotion in their voices. Take a video of their retell! They are really fun to re-watch.  

If you don't have a printer, or don't wish to use one, or if your child prefers to draw their own, you will need:
3 pigs
1 wolf
some straw
some sticks
some bricks
a straw house
a stick house
a brick house 
(a fire or a pot over a fire might be useful!, but is not in the pdf I sent) 
If you have puppets or stuffies that can stand in, use them! You can use the house that you built last week, or make more from Lego, straws,  bricks.... whatever!
