Fairytale Fiasco! Incursion

Fairytale Land is in a muddle and there is a whole lot of mixed up trouble in our FAIRYTALE FIASCO! Incursion.

Primary school children will love dressing up as their favourite fairytale characters to act out this dramatic fairytale.

This creative incursion explores the structure of narratives and personal expression using body language, verbal and visual cues.

As Dwarves, Witches, Wizards, Dragons, Mice, Cats, Wolves and Pigs children will immerse themselves in this imaginative incursion and get lost in the story.

Suitable for Foundation to Year 2.

“Children had a wonderful time exploring the world of Fairytale Land.

They loved the use of dress ups and they were thrilled to be able to change costumes. The use of music, drama and storytelling ignited their imaginations.”
