What can you do in a fairy tale? Fairy tale structure: how to learn to create magical stories
If you noticed, we really love to compose fairy tales, for example, we recently composed musical tales about and .
I say “we” because I, as a mother, also put my efforts into this and help, correct what I come up with.
In general, it is imperative to develop this writing skill in a child, because even if you don’t have it in the future famous writer, then in any case this will be useful to him at school in reading, literature, history, geography lessons and simply where something needs to be explained or told.
Let's try it together with you today.
In general, a fairy tale is the same story, only all the events in it are fabulous, magical. Therefore, to compose any fairy tale, you need to use certain rules and a special plan.
The first thing to do is to determine the topic, that is, what our story (fairy tale) will be about.
Secondly, be sure to formulate the main idea of the future story, that is, why, for what purpose are you writing it, what it should teach listeners.
And third, directly construct the story according to the following scheme:
- Exposition (who, where, when, what did)
- The beginning of the action (how it all began)
- Development of action
- Climax (the most important moments)
- Decay of action
- Denouement (how it all ended)
- Ending
Do not be afraid to name such complex concepts as “exposition” and “culmination” to your preschooler. Even if he doesn’t remember them now, he will definitely learn the principle of construction and will be able to apply it in the future.
According to exactly the same rules, stories are compiled and essays are written at school, so this material can be safely used by schoolchildren.
So, let's now move directly to inventing a fairy tale.
Here is the fairy tale “The Journey of the Ball,” which Seraphim composed when he was 5 years old. And using her example, we will see how to compose a fairy tale.
To compose a fairy tale, you can expand the algorithm a little to make it easier for your child to navigate.
1. Beginning (for example, once upon a time there was rain, a flower, sunshine, etc.)
2. Commencement (one day, one day he went or decided to do it, etc.)
3. Development of action (met someone, for example)
- passed the first test
- passed the second test
4. Climax (the third test after which she or he turns into someone or something)
5. Decline of action (someone does something so that our hero regains his original form)
6. Denouement (since then or since then)
7. Ending (and they began to live as before or he did not go anywhere else, etc.)
Once upon a time there was a boy, Alyosha, who had a balloon. And one day, when Alyosha fell asleep, he decided to go for a walk.
The ball flies and flies, and a rainbow meets it.
- Why are you flying here? Where is your home? You might get lost or burst!
And the ball answers her:
“I want to see the world and show myself.”
It flies and flies, and a cloud meets it.
- How did you end up here? There are so many dangers all around!
And the ball answers:
- Do not disturb me! I want to see the world and show myself. And he flew on.
It flies and flies, and the wind meets it.
- Why are you walking here? You might burst!
But the ball again did not listen to the elders. And then the wise wind decided to teach him a lesson.
“Uh-uh-uh,” the wind blew.
The ball flew towards the reverse side and got caught on a branch. And his thread untied, and he hung on the branch like a rag.
And at this very time our boy Alyosha was walking along the path. He was picking mushrooms in the forest and suddenly he sees a rag hanging on a branch. He looks, and this is his balloon. The boy was very happy, took the balloon home and inflated it again.
And the ball at home told Alyosha about his adventures and never went for a walk without Alyosha again.
Such interesting tasks, for example, are given to children in her lessons by a wonderful teacher, teacher of Russian language and literature - Nadezhda Ivanovna Popova. Huge thanks to her!!!
Having learned before school to correctly compose fairy tales, stories, and retell short texts, at school you will be able to retell, write summaries and essays without any problems. Therefore, don’t be lazy and start doing this with your child before school.
Well, so that the baby can see his result clearly, as they say, you can write down your fairy tales there, which is what you and I will do tomorrow.
A fairy tale from Lenya Khona
Ilya against three dragons.
Once upon a time there lived a boy. He was playing in the yard of the house. His name was Ilya Morychin. Elijah was the chosen one because he was the son of Zeus, the god of lightning. And he could control lightning. When he was walking home, he found himself in a magical world, where he met a rabbit. The rabbit told him that he needed to defeat three dragons.
The first dragon was Green colour and was the weakest, the second - blue - was a little stronger, and the third - red - the strongest.
If he defeats them, he will return home. Ilya agreed.
He defeated the first with ease, the second a little more difficult. He thought he would not win the third, but that same rabbit came to his aid, and they defeated him. Ilya finally returned home and lived happily ever after.
A fairy tale from Anya Modorskaya
Night conversation.
Once upon a time there was a girl named Lida, who had so many toys that it was simply impossible to keep track of them all! One evening the girl went to bed early. When it got dark, all the toys came to life and started talking.
The dolls were the first to speak:
Oh! Our hostess recently wanted to do our hair and dress us, but she never got around to it! - said the first doll.
Oh! We are so disheveled! - said the second.
And we,” said the toy rats and mice, “have been standing here collecting dust for so long!” The hostess still doesn’t want to wash us.
But my owner loves me very much,” said Lida’s beloved dog. – Plays with me, combs my hair, dresses me.
Yes! Yes! – the figurines from the porcelain collection said in unison, “and she often wipes us down.” We're not complaining about her!
This is where books come into play:
She never finished reading me, and I’m very upset about that! - said the book of fairy tales.
And Lida loves us and has read all of us, they said, adventure books.
And a whole shelf of books started making noise about us - they didn’t even start.
Here the jumpers perked up:
This girl treated us well and we will never speak ill of her.
And then the furniture started muttering:
Oh! How hard it is for me to stand under the weight of all these books,” said the bookcase.
And for me, the chair, it feels very good: they wipe me down and give me pleasure by sitting on me. It's so nice to be needed.
Then something spoke in the wardrobe:
And the hostess dresses me only according to holidays when she has good mood! That’s why I’m very well-groomed,” said the dress.
And Lida tore me up three months ago and never dressed me because of the hole! It's a shame! - said the trousers.
And the bags say:
The hostess always takes us with her and often forgets us everywhere. And he rarely cleans us!
And the textbooks say:
Our owner Lida loves us the most. She dresses us in beautiful covers and erases the pencil from our pages.
For a long time they talked about Lida’s life, and in the morning the girl didn’t know whether it was a dream or not? But still, she dressed and combed the dolls, washed the toys, finished reading the book, arranged the books on the shelves so that the closet could easily stand, sewed up the trousers, and cleaned the handbags. She wanted her things too much to think well of her.

There lived a girl in the world, her name was Sonya. In the fall she went to school.
One early morning Sonya went out for a walk. There was an old oak tree in the middle of the park. There was a swing tire hanging on an oak branch. Sonya always swung on this swing. As always, she sat down on this swing and began to swing. And suddenly something fell on her head. It was a nut... a golden nut! Sonya took it and examined it carefully. It really was all gold. They began to pay attention to Sonya. She got scared and threw the nut, but realized what a mistake she had made: the nut split, became gray and rusty. Sonya was very upset and put the fragments in her pocket. Suddenly she heard someone upstairs talking. Raising her head, Sonya saw squirrels. Yes, yes, those were the squirrels talking. One of them jumped down to Sonya and asked:
What is your name?
My name is Sonya. Can squirrels talk?
That's funny! The squirrel itself, and even asks if squirrels talk!
I'm not a squirrel! I am a girl!
Well, okay, then look into the puddle, girl!
Sonya looked into the puddle and turned pale. She was a squirrel!
How did it happen?
You must have broken a golden nut!
How can I go back to being a girl?
Go to the old oak tree. A learned eagle owl lives there. If you beat him in a dispute, he will give you a silver nut. You break it and you go home as a girl. Take my little squirrel - he knows the answers to all the owl's questions.
Sonya took the little squirrel and climbed up the oak tree. She climbed for a long time and even fell 3 times. Sonya climbed onto a massive large branch, where the learned eagle owl was sitting.
Hello, squirrel!
Hello, Uncle Owl! I need a silver nut!
Okay, I'll give you a nut if you beat me in an argument.
They argued for a long time, and the little squirrel from Sonya's tail suggested everything.
Okay, take the nut, you beat me!
Sonya jumped from the oak tree, thanked the little squirrel, and broke a nut.
Sonya returned home as a girl, and from that day on she fed the squirrels.

A fairy tale from Nadya Konokhova
Curious fly.
Once upon a time there was a fly. She was so curious that she often got into trouble. She decided to find out who the cat was and flew off to find him. Suddenly I saw a large red cat in the window of one house. He lay and basked in the sun. A fly flew up to the cat and asked:
Mister cat, can I ask you what your name is and what you eat?
Meow! “I’m a house cat, Murkot, I catch mice in the house, I like to eat sour cream and sausage,” the cat answers.
“I wonder if he is my friend or enemy?” the fly thought and began to ask further.
Do you eat flies?
I don't know, I need to think about it. Fly tomorrow, I will answer you.
The next day a curious fly arrived and asked:
You thought?
Yes,” the cat answered slyly, “I don’t eat flies.”
Suspecting nothing, the fly flew closer to the cat and again began asking its questions:
And who are you most afraid of, dear Murkot?
ABOUT! Most of all I am afraid of dogs!
Do you like fruits?
Are there too many questions, dear fly? - asked the cat and, grabbing it with two paws, threw it into his mouth and ate it. So the curious fly is gone.
A fairy tale from Misha Dubrovenko
Snowflakes
Snowflake was born high in the sky in a large cloud.
Grandma Cloud, why do we need Winter?
To cover the ground with a white blanket, to hide it from wind and frost.
“Oh, grandma,” Snowflake was surprised, “I’m small, but the Earth is huge!” How can I cover her?
The earth is big, but one, and you have millions of sisters,” said Cloud and shook her apron.
The air began to blink and snowflakes flew into the garden, the house, the yard. They fell and fell until they covered the whole world.
But the Wind didn’t like the snow. Previously, it was possible to scatter everything, but now everything is covered under the snow!
Well, I'll show you! - The Wind whistled and began to blow snowflakes from the Earth.
It blew and blew, but it just carried the snow from one place to another. So I subsided out of frustration.
Then Frost got down to business. And the snowflake sisters huddled closer to one another, and so they waited for Spring.
Spring has come, the sun has warmed up, millions of blades of grass have grown on Earth.
Where did the snowflakes go?
And nowhere! Early in the morning there is a drop of dew on every blade of grass. These are our snowflakes. They shine, shimmer - millions of little suns!

In ancient times, people were poor and earned their living by their labor: plowing the land, raising livestock, etc. And the Tugars (mercenaries from other lands) periodically attacked villages, stole livestock, stole and robbed. When leaving, they burned crops, houses and other buildings behind them.
At this time, a hero was born and they named him Alyosha. He grew up strong and helped everyone in the village. One day he was assigned to deal with the Tugars. And Alyosha says: “I can’t cope with a large army alone, I’ll go to other villages for help.” He put on his armor, took his sword, mounted his horse and set off.
Entering one of the villages, he learned from the local residents that the hero Ilya Muromets lived here with incredible strength. Alyosha walked towards him. He told Ilya about the Tugar raids on villages and asked for help. Ilya agreed to help. Putting on armor and taking a spear, they set off.
On the way, Ilya said that in a neighboring village there lived a hero named Dobrynya Nikitich, who would also agree to help them. Dobrynya met the heroes, listened to their story about the tricks of the Tugars, and the three of them headed to the Tugar camp.
On the way, the heroes figured out how to get through the guards unnoticed and capture their leader. Approaching the camp, they changed into Tugar clothes and in this way carried out their plan. Tugarin was frightened and asked for forgiveness in exchange for the fact that he would no longer attack their villages. They believed him and let him go. But Tugarin did not keep his word and continued raiding villages with even greater cruelty.
Then three heroes, having gathered an army from the village residents, attacked the Tugars. The battle lasted many days and nights. Victory was for the villagers, since they fought for their lands and families, and they had a strong will to win. The Tugars, frightened by such an onslaught, fled to their distant country. And peaceful life continued in the villages, and the heroes went about their previous good deeds.

Lisa's fairy tale
Once upon a time there was a girl named Sveta. She had two friends, Khahala and Bababa, but no one saw them, and everyone thought that it was just a child’s fantasy. Mom asked Sveta to help and before she had time to look back, everything was put away and ironed and she asked in surprise:
Daughter, how did you quickly cope with everything?
Mom, I'm not alone! Khakhalya and Bababa help me.
Stop making things up! How can! What kind of fantasies? What kind of Hakhala? What Bababa? You've already grown up!
Sveta paused, lowered her head and went to her room. She waited for her friends for a long time, but they never showed up. The completely tired girl fell asleep in her crib. At night she had a strange dream, as if her friends were captured by the evil sorceress Neumekha. In the morning everything fell out of Sveta’s hands.
What's happened? – Mom asked, but Sveta didn’t answer. She was very worried about the fate of her friends, but could not admit it to her mother.
A day passed, then a second...
One night Sveta woke up and was surprised to see a door that glowed against the background of the wall. She opened the door and found herself in a magical forest. Things were scattered around, broken toys were lying around, there were unmade beds, and Sveta immediately guessed that these were the possessions of the sorceress Neumekha. Sveta went along the only free path to help her friends.
The path led her to a large dark cave. Sveta was very afraid of the dark, but she overcame her fear and went into the cave. She reached the metal bars and saw her friends behind the bars. The grate was closed with a big, big lock.
I will definitely save you! Just how to open this lock?
Khakhalya and Bababa said that the sorceress Neumekha threw away the key somewhere in the forest. Sveta ran along the path to look for the key. She wandered for a long time among the abandoned things, until suddenly she saw the flashing tip of a key under a broken toy.
Hurray! – Sveta screamed and ran to open the bars.
Waking up in the morning, she saw her friends near the bed.
I am so glad that you are with me again! Let everyone think that I am an inventor, but I know that you really exist!!!
A fairy tale from Ilya Borovkov
Once upon a time there lived a boy named Vova. One day he became seriously ill. No matter what the doctors did, he did not get better. One night, after another visit to the doctors, Vova heard his mother quietly crying by his bed. And he swore to himself that he would definitely get better, and his mother would never cry.
After another dose of medication, Vova fell fast asleep. An incomprehensible noise woke him up. Opening his eyes, Vova realized that he was in the forest, and a hare was sitting next to him and eating a carrot.
“Well, are you awake? - the hare asked him.
What, can you speak?
Yes, I can also dance.
And where am I? How did I end up here?
You are in the forest in the land of dreams. The evil sorceress brought you here,” answered the hare, continuing to chew the carrot.
But I need to go home, my mother is waiting for me there. If I don’t return, she will die of melancholy,” Vova sat down and began to cry.
Don't cry, I'll try to help you. But a difficult road awaits you. Get up, have breakfast with berries and let's go.
Vova wiped his tears, got up, and had breakfast with berries. And their journey began.
The road passed through swamps and dense forests. They had to ford rivers. In the evening they came out into the clearing. There was a small house in the clearing.
What if she eats me? – Vova asked the hare in fear.
Maybe she’ll eat you, but only if you don’t guess her three riddles,” said the hare and disappeared.
Vova was left completely alone. Suddenly the window in the house opened, and a witch looked out.
Well, are you standing, Vova? Come into the house. I've been waiting for you for a long time.
Vova, lowering his head, entered the house.
Sit down at the table, we'll have dinner now. Perhaps you've been hungry all day?
Aren't you going to eat me?
Who told you that I eat children? A hare perhaps? Ah, wretch! I'll catch it and eat it with pleasure.
And he also said that you will tell me three riddles, and if I guess them, then you will return me home?
The hare didn't lie. But if you don’t guess them, you will remain in my service forever. You eat, and then we’ll start asking riddles.
Vova was able to solve the first and second riddles easily. And the third, last, was the most difficult. Vova thought that he would never see his mother again. And then he realized what the witch had wished for. Vova’s answer made the sorceress very angry.
I won’t let you go, you’ll still remain in my service.
With these words, the sorceress crawled under the bench for the rope lying under it. Vova, without hesitation, rushed out of the house. And he ran as fast as he could from the witch’s house, wherever his eyes were looking. He ran and ran forward, afraid to look back. At some point, the ground seemed to disappear from under Vova’s feet, and he began to fall into an infinitely deep hole. Vova screamed out of fear and closed his eyes.
Opening his eyes, he saw that he was lying in his bed, and his mother was sitting next to him and stroking his head.
“You screamed a lot at night, I came to calm you down,” his mother told him.
Vova told his mother about his dream. Mom laughed and left. Vova threw back the blanket and saw a bitten carrot there.
From that day on, Vova began to recover, and soon he went to school, where his friends were waiting for him.
This is an expression, but few people have thought that the hint that passes somehow casually, barely touching consciousness, is in fact that same barely noticeable path, following which you see that the fairy tale is not a lie at all, but a lesson for good fellows yes red girls
MAGIC TALES as a TOOL FOR FULFILLING WISHES
What are these self-fulfilling fairy tales? And how do they differ from simply making wishes and performing rituals? The author writes an ordinary fairy tale, expressing surging emotions. And depending on what emotions he has, the tale turns out to be sad or funny, romantic or fighting, with a joyful or sad ending. It is assumed that fairy tales were written for the purpose of entertainment, but it’s worth remembering “Kolobok” or “The Little Mermaid” - this way of having fun seems somewhat peculiar!
Magic Self-fulfilling fairy tales differ from those described above in that they are written with the goal of finding a solution to a pressing issue.
These fairy tales are always funny, with a traditional happy ending. Well, having fun while writing a fairy tale is guaranteed!
The fairy tale is written by the bearer himself (I don’t want to say the word “problem”), say, of an unresolved issue. An unresolved question is formalized by the author into words and, in the process of writing, is transformed into a solved one.
It is your INTENTION that works regardless of you.
That is, this is not a message like “I want”, this is an ALREADY resolved issue - you solved it in a fairy tale.
When you start writing, you already know how it will end, but you don’t yet know how you will get there, but you will all comejust like a bee finds a flower by smell. I assure you, the process is exciting!
These are the main stages of writing:
- 1.Description of the hero and situation.
- 2.Formulation of the claim (the hero’s dissatisfaction, picturesque suffering) 3.Formulation of INTENTION.
- 4. “Journey to distant lands” - preparation of the “battlefield”.
- 5. “Fight with a monster” and an anecdotal, ABSURD way to defeat him (sequence of actions - RITUAL!)
- 6.Victory, “PRIZE!” - fulfillment of intention, return of the hero, celebration.
- 7. “Fixer” - a promise to the future.
Experience has shown that writing a fairy tale can be done by EVERYONE!
How to start such a simple, but so tempting action? If you are under the influence negative emotions, sad, annoyed - bring yourself to a calm state.
The state of courage will be excellent!
A good way is to imagine yourself slightly under a degree. Once again: just IMAGINE!
Come up with a super cool name!
Take the most brilliant name for yourself. Modesty is strongly discouraged! Don't wait for Muse, do you know how many people like you?Perhaps it just hasn’t reached you yet. Start writing! This capricious person will definitely visit you as soon as she smells the aroma of creativity!
By 5 point: those actions or events that you describe will be a ritual that you will need to perform specifically in this situation. This will be the most correct thing for you - it is your soul that directly receives the answer to what exactly you should do!
After all, you know that there are a lot of beautiful rituals, but for some reason they don’t work, and they don’t work because they are not yours!
On point 7: a message to the future is when already in a fairy tale what is needed has come true, the intended happy ending has taken place. But life goes on, right? And new distances open beyond the horizon. This is where we begin to casually attract the following tempting situation. For example, it happened - a lady got an apartment, moved in - and then an interesting neighbor comes in - Well, like, ask where the library is... In fact, there is a message to the future - the red maiden, and even with her mansion, is very much entitled to a good fellow!
But what kind of relationships are supposed to exist - more on that nextfairy tale
Self-fulfilling fairy tales are written to solve any issues: apartment, money, career, “sweet couple” - whatever the soul wants. Storyteller! State your goal more precisely! If you don’t formulate your goal, how will the Universe know what you, wonderful one, want? Well, choose your expressions: as you say, so it will be!
Good luck!
Fairy tales? What nonsense? I have not been a child for a long time and I know very well what fairy tales are. This cannot happen in life, because it can never happen - something like this is what many say when they first hear about self-fulfilling fairy tales.
Meanwhile, any fairy tale is not only an interesting story, it has a specific purpose. Remember the saying: “A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it...”? So it's not that simple. There is even a certain direction in psychology called fairy tale therapy. In general, fairy tales are a useful thing. And, as it turned out, not only for children.
So what are self-fulfilling fairy tales and why are they needed?
Self-fulfilling fairy tales are fairy tales whose authors and heroes are ourselves.
After some time, the events described in the fairy tale come true in our lives.
We’ll talk about why this happens a little later, but now we’ll talk about how to write such fairy tales. Why are self-fulfilling fairy tales written? Of course, in order to make our life better, more enjoyable, more interesting.
You can start small and write a fairy-tale version of how to resolve a situation.
For example, you need a job. Write a story about how you find this very job. If we talk about something more global, you can write a fairy tale about your life, about what you want it to be like in the future.
How to write a self-fulfilling fairy tale?
Everything is simple here. First of all, remember this rule: my fairy tale - my rules! That is, anything you want can happen in your fairy tale, any miracles and transformations, any, even the most incredible things.
Because the we're talking about about a fairy tale, then you can (and even necessary!) allow yourself to turn into fairy tale hero, for example, in the king, or a cheerful troubadour, or perhaps you want to become a princess, a sorceress or something else - please!
Don't be shy, let go of your imagination and let yourself be immersed in fairy world. For example, you can start like this:
“In a beautiful kingdom, there lived a princess. Every morning, waking up, the princess heard the singing of birds and felt a light breeze that brought to her the aromas of the magnificent flowers growing in her garden ... "
Next, you can describe the situation that requires resolution. Of course, in the best traditions fairy tale genre. Let’s say this: “The princess wanted to get busy - go to work. The Tsar Father supported the idea, and the princess went to the city to find a job she liked. But soon the fairy tale is told, but the deed is not done soon. Day, two, three days, the princess went to various shopping shops and manufacturing factories, but could not find a job that would make her soul happy. The princess did not despair, every day the desire to work became greater in her, and there was a feeling that the very thing that she would like was about to be found. And then one day..."
And now it is possible to describe in detail and with all the details the story of how the situation was resolved and how main character fairy tales satisfied and happy. Now the fairy tale is ready.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated here. The main thing is to start, and then everything will work out by itself. Sometimes we don’t even suspect what our imagination is capable of, but it is actually capable of a lot.
The resulting fairy tale needs to be re-read regularly, you can read it to yourself every morning or before bed, you can tell your children... There are many options, choose the one that you like best and suits you.
Why do self-fulfilling fairy tales work?
Why does what was written in a fairy tale suddenly come true in life? The fact is that such fairy tales are nothing more than a scenario of life or the development of a certain situation. There are elements of visualization, formulation of desires, goal setting, programming, etc.
And plus to everything - all this is written down, but writing down desires is very important!
While writing, we allow the subconscious to work more actively.
During the creative process, many restrictions are removed, because we seem to disconnect from the real world and don’t think about the fact that “there are no ideal men, and if there are, then everyone is already taken”, “the fire inspector always demands a bribe”, “impossible find Good work no connections"...
In a fairy tale, everything is possible! Thanks to this, our subconscious mind calmly comes up with the best options for the development of events..
Allowing us to admit the possibility of their implementation.
From the forum:
In fact " Tale about a droplet" is a self-healing fairy tale in its purest form. The beetle is the image of my fear, the dandelion is me, and the droplet is a person close to me, whom it was time to send on an independent voyage.
So, we create an image of our problem or negative feeling. We give him a name, endow him with worldly data, where he lives, with whom he lives, how he lives.
In the fairy tale, IT must pass three tests, after each of which a transformation occurs that changes the negative to the positive.
This doesn’t always happen; you can’t write through force. We write as it comes and only by hand.
If we didn’t manage to turn the hardened byaka into something kind and fluffy in one go, then we’ll write more.
A fairy tale is a powerful weapon against bad mood, insomnia, and injustice. She is capable of re-educating, shaming, hinting. And what’s important is that anyone can compose it. How to do it? We will tell you how to write a fairy tale that will please, surprise and be remembered for a long time.
1. Develop your imagination.
In order to write a fairy tale, you need. The chances that it will come after a working day or while cleaning the house are small. Then where to look for it? The answer is clear – among children. Playing with them in the sandbox, observing their spontaneous behavior, you can begin to fantasize together. Children will definitely be inspired to think about how to write a fairy tale.
This is exactly what Alan Alexander Milne, author, once did famous story about Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh. He was not a children's author, but playing with his son, listening to him and his ideas, the writer created a world-famous bestseller.
2. Choose a genre.
It is impossible to determine when fairy tales appeared, since they belonged to oral folk. They were told to young children in order to reason, educate, and convey an edifying message. Since then, all stories for children have been divided into three categories (genres).
- Magical– the plot contains magical objects or events (self-assembled tablecloth, transformations).
- About animals– the main characters are animals endowed with human qualities (the life of animals in a mitten).
- Social and household– people of different classes appear, everyday or social problems are raised (the story of the porridge with an ax).
Genres may overlap, but it is better to determine the main genre line in advance.
3. Think over the topic and main idea.
You need to think about what the fairy tale will be about. It is advisable to put the wording in one sentence, since specifics at the beginning of the work contribute to its advancement.
The peculiarity of fairy tales is that they must teach something. A fairy tale without a joke is like a joke without a funny ending.
But the teaching must be carefully veiled. That is, not speaking directly is bad, giving the little reader the opportunity to draw conclusions himself, to push him to them. When the topic, as well as the main idea will be determined, it will become clear how to write the fairy tale further.
4. Determine the target audience.
Books for adults do not have return restrictions; they do not say “recommended reading for people aged 30 to 40 or 50+.” But children's fairy tales are always designed for an audience of a certain age - preschoolers, students primary classes and so on.
Based on this, it will be easier to form the communication style of the characters and the level of complexity of their speech.
5. Create unique characters and unusual reality.
Baba Yaga, Koschey the Immortal, Puss in Boots are bright interesting characters, which it is better for a novice storyteller to forget. An interesting, unique character with a fancy name is a guarantee that you will want to read the text.
What matters is the reality in which the characters will exist. It should be unlike anything else, original. Here you can give free rein by inventing, for example, houses with wings, honey roads or a land of pears.
It is worth imagining all the features of this world, every detail in the images of the characters. Children are very attentive readers; they will immediately notice a “blunder” or a contradiction.
How to write a fairy tale so that it is successful? Revive a unique hero and believe in him!
6. Come up with an interesting plot.
In order not to get confused in the events of your own narrative and to follow their logical course, you need to adhere to a certain composition.
- Introduction– interests the audience and encourages them to read the text further. Here we introduce readers to the main character and also give an idea of what the story will be about.
- The beginning– the event that starts everything. The plot should intrigue and introduce you to the essence of what is happening.
- Development of action– in this part of the story the hero encounters obstacles and solves problems. The plot should be interesting and dynamic. Only in this mode will the child read to the main episode.
- Climax- This is the most intense and touching moment of the story. You need to make it so that it takes your breath away from worrying about the main character. How will he get out of this situation? What will it do? Will his true friends help him? What would I do? If there are so many questions in a small head, then the climax part is written perfectly.
- Conclusion– now the worst is behind us. Readers can only enjoy the victory, savor the triumph of good over evil.
Following this plan is how to write a fairy tale so that its plot develops consistently and logically.
7. Hone your writing skills.
To “catch the wave,” you can start by remaking several well-known fairy tales. Or write a fanfic for them (continued). An exercise called “Word Play” will help “stir up the imagination.” What is its meaning?
Here are the lines already written:
An evil wizard bewitched the castle, stealing the princess.
What if they could be mixed?
The evil castle stole the wizard and the princess.
Or like this:
The enchanted princess was looking for the wizard's castle.
This can be continued until a suitable option arises.
8. Stick to style.
- Do not use complex or overly long sentences.
- Avoid lyrical digressions, philosophical reasoning.
- Watch your vocabulary - do not use words that children do not understand.
Adults pick up children's books to distract themselves and... And children listen to them in order to be transported to other worlds.
This process should take place unnoticed by them. How to write a fairy tale in such a way as to achieve this? Read and reread your own text, improving it.
9. Come up with a name.
It is best to name your work when it is finished. The plot may change during writing, so there is no need to rush.
10. It's all in the details.
Good conquers evil.
This is one of the main features of this type of creativity. Why this happened, the opinions of philologists differ. This topic can be discussed, but the law cannot be broken. The ending must be good.
Magic numbers.
When the numbers 3, 7, 12 appear in a fairy tale, they cease to be ordinary. These numbers are real symbols. They add an intriguing mystery to the story: 3 questions, 3 tests, 3 heroes, and so on.
True friend.
The main character needs an assistant who will give hints and help in difficulties. You can make it funny. IN modern stories this is a real trend. For example, the donkey from the cartoon "Shrek". Making people laugh and supporting them in trouble are the two main functions of such a character.
Means of artistic expression.
Without hyperbole (exaggeration), antithesis (contrast), constant epithets (the beautiful maiden), vivid comparisons, it will not be possible to create a colorful speech atmosphere. Their role in the text is very important, since it is the means artistic expression form images in us. A person who wants to learn how to write a fairy tale needs to master this artistic weapon.
