Tell Your Own Three Little Pigs Story
Retell the Story of the Three Little Pigs in your own way. Some ways you can change the original story:
-
Instead of Three Pigs, how about
- Three Dogs, or
- Three Horses, or
- Three Martians, or
- Three of something else?
-
Instead of houses made of straw, sticks, and bricks, how about
- Knives, forks and spoons, or
- Bread, butter and jam, or
- Grass, flowers and trees, or
- Cement, iron and steel, or
- Cookies, cake, and candy, or
- Something else.
-
Instead of a Big Bad Wolf, how about
- A Big Bad Lawnmower, or
- A Big Bad Tyrannosaurus Rex, or
- A Little Good Wolf, or
- Something else.
-
Instead of the wolf Huffing and Puffing and Blowing the House in, how about
- Just sitting down and waiting until the pig comes out, or
- Eating the house, or
- Bringing in a wrecking ball, or
- Something else.
-
Instead of the Pigs saying, "Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin" and then running away, how about...
- "Why don't you wait for my brother to come along. He's bigger and tastier." or
- Calling the fairy tale police and having them come arrest the wolf, or
- Casting a spell on the wolf and turning him into a carrot, or
- Something else.
Or maybe you want to write your own version of another fairy tale. Change the characters, or have it take place
somewhere different, or have the ending change.
