This medium worksheet asks kindergartners to fill in nine sentences about the building blocks of a story. Young learners write that the character is the person or animal, the setting is the place, the plot is what happens, every good story has a beginning, and a story ends when the problem is solved. Other sentences name the hero as the brave one in a tale.
Part B is a four-pair matching task that links setting, character, beginning, and plot to kid-friendly definitions like where a story happens, who is in the story, the start of a tale, and what happens next.
