Preparing the activity as a class game.
This activity can be done

with the whole class or in groups of four. Make one photocopy of
page 1 and cut up the 25 cards. If you have less than 25 pupils, do
not cut up all the cards; leave some in pairs (they need to be from
the same story). If you have more than 25 pupils, you can cut out the
three titles of the story and this gives you 28 cards. If you have more
than 28 pupils, you can cut one of the longer cards in half. The stories
are arranged in order from left to right on the page. The three cards
which are highlighted, mark the beginning of each story. Goldilocks
has eight cards, Cinderella nine and The three little pigs eight. (Titles
are not included).

Reparte una tarjeta a cada alumno y dales tiempo para que la lean.
Despus se pasean por la clase contndole su tarjeta a diferentes
compaeros hasta que hayan encontrado todas las tarjetas de su
historia. Anmales a que cuenten lo que pone en la tarjeta, pero no
a que lo lean. Cuando hayan juntado todas las tarjetas y se hayan
formado los tres equipos, ordenan las tarjetas para formar el cuento
completo. Leen en voz alta para corregir que el orden es correcto.

Give each pupil a card and allow them time to read it. They then
walk around the class telling each other the sentence on their card
and looking for the pupils who have the other lines in their story.
Encourage them to tell the story, not to read it. Once they are in
group, they put the cards in order to make the complete story. They
read it aloud to check it is correct.
