Just Wondering...




This question would be a great conversation starter in any early childhood classroom. Asking children to explain why they chose one character over the other will reinforce language and reasoning, two foundational skills vital for interpersonal problem-solving.

I hope it spurs many animated conversations. I'd love to hear about the classroom discussions that evolve from it. Please share them!

Ways to apply the question include: 

1-Morning Question 

2-Journal Entry During A Fairy Tale Unit

3-Turn and Talk

4-Large Group Discussion

If there is a social issue in your classroom, this could be a gentle way of talking about excluding classmates.

Target Questions:
How do you think Goldilocks or Red Riding Hood would feel if you chose not to play with them? How would you feel?

5-Small Group Discussion

6-Story Prompt: After students answer the question they can draw a picture of the activity and describe other games they played with the character.

What other ways did you use the question?
