In this hands-on sorting activity, students sort familiar fairy tale characters into settings they are typically found in.

Character Sort: Fairy Tales is a great resource for using with small groups. As some characters move across settings throughout a story, this will provide a prompt for rich discussion between students about where the character should be placed.

This resource includes 5 settings templates, 30 character cards and two recording sheets. The cards feature characters from the following fairy tales:

1. The Gingerbread Man
2. Little Red Riding Hood
3. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
4. Jack and the Beanstalk
5. Hansel and Gretel
6. Goldilocks and the Three Bears
