let's play!
TRANSCRIPT
Aisopos and his fairy tales are very well known to the children by a small age. So, we read the fairy tale of Aisopos again and we tried to think what new we could do about it….
After a lot of thought we decided to play a game with it.
For start, I divided the fairy tale to seventeen peaces, as much as the kids in the classroom.
Then I wrote them to equally circles and I printed these colorful circles to several stickers. The first part of the game was ready.
The Hare and the Tortoise
One fine spring morning, a Hare came out of his nest to eat fresh
grass.
And the Rabbit run faster and faster. He
felt puzzled, he expected to meet his
opponent but the Turtle was nowhere to be seen. “Maybe the Turtle had quit”,
he thought and continued running.
It was time for us to cut the circles and stick them on our back. Luckily most of the kids had a hud on their blouse and that made it
easier to hide the sticker until the right moment.
When everybody got his sticker we started walking around the class and trying to read
as many stickers as possible.
It wasn’t always easy as you can see! But it was very fun searching!
After reading them all, we had to put them in the right chronological order according to the myth.
At first, we found it a bit difficult but as the game went on we got the hunk of it.
Here you can see our bodies “telling” you a
story!
If you can’t read it , try to make it again.
The Tortoise did not waste time and
immediately started walking. Slowly of
course, but the Tortoise had already covered
the first centimeters of that route.
“Now is the time to do the
running”, he thought, “now I
will win the race”.
As he was eating, he saw a Tortoise nearby and he thought that
the Tortoise walk was too funny. So the
Hare started mocking the Tortoise and said that even the snails
are faster.
Here are the stickers! All you have to do is put them in the right order!
The Hare and the Tortoise
One fine spring morning, a Hare
came out of his nest to eat fresh grass.
And the Rabbit run faster and faster. He felt
puzzled, he expected to meet his opponent but the Turtle was nowhere to be seen. “ Maybe the Tortoise had quit” , he thought and continued
running.
-How about doing a little race? Then we will know who is the
fastest!
;
The Tortoise won the Hare on a running race, certainly not because he
can run faster, but because the Tortoise
stayed true to his purpose and showed no arrogance, like the Hare
did.
The Fox was chosen as the perfect judge, set the starting point, the path that they would follow and the ending point of the running
game
When the Hare got near the finish point, boy he
was surprised! The Tortoise was already there, with a look of
triumph on the face, and were chewing a green
leaf. The Tortoise is the winner!
The Turtle stopped, looked at the Rabbit
and told him:
That was it! The Rabbit fell down
and started laughing harder
and harder.
The Hare sit and watch the Tortoise go. He yawned and felt sleepy cause it was too early in the morning. “I am
too fast”, he thought to himself, “I could take a little nap and I will catch up with
the Turtle later. I cannot lose I am the fastest animal in the
forest”.
Thus the Hare fall asleep. The Tortoise
continued walking, in a slow but steady rhythm, following the route that
Fox had designated.
Yet, the Turtle stayed serious, so the Rabbit realized
it was not a joke and he accepted the challenge.
They decided to do it on next morning. So, next
morning, our two contestants were ready
and along with them many forest animals who were curious to see what
will happen!”
Fox announced: “On your marks.
Get set.
Later, the Rabbit woke up.
Have fun!!!
