1. 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….
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. When everybody got his sticker we started
walking around the class and trying to read as
many stickers as possible.
5. It wasn’t always easy as you can see! But it
was very fun searching!
6. 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.
7. Here you can see our
bodies “telling” you a
story!
If you can’t read it , try to
make it again.
8. 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!
9. 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.
10. -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
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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!!!
