The Fairy Tale is an excellent life teacher of a person from an early age. It contains the main cultural traditions of the people, passed down from generation to generation. Fairy tales are not only interesting to read, but also to compose yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the audience for which the fairy tale will be intended. It is limited to the age range of your readers. For example, it can be children 2-4 years old, 4-6 years old, younger students, etc. Depending on the age, vary the length of the story, the complexity of the characters and the intricacy of the plot.
Step 2
Choose a plot for a fairy tale. Don't worry if it overlaps with stories you already know. Due to the nuances you add, the fairy tale will gradually become unique. The plot is based on the story of the loss or lack of something that must be found, overcoming some obstacles.
Step 3
Create heroes for your story. Mandatory in a fairy tale are the roles of a positive hero, for example, Ivan Tsarevich, a negative one (Serpent Gorynych, Baba Yaga), as well as assistants of positive and negative characters. It is also possible to include a character in the plot, which is corrected and changed in the course of the narration (was bad - became good, lazy - hardworking, etc.).
Step 4
Write down the characters well. Each of them must have striking traits that determine their behavior. If the heroes of the fairy tale are animals, choose them corresponding to their appearance and capabilities, advantages and disadvantages, endow them with some human traits.
Step 5
A fairy tale must necessarily teach its reader. If it is short, touch on one topic, for example, about good that overcomes evil, or the truth that is always known, etc. In a longer story, use several important topics that will be clear to your audience.
Step 6
Before writing, make a plan for your fairy tale. Please note that the tale consists of an exposition (the reason why the problem occurred); inception (when the problem is discovered); development of action; culmination (there is a battle with the enemy) and denouement (the return of the hero with a victory and receipt of the promised benefits). Stick to the "formulas" that exist for writing fairy tales. Beginning: “Once upon a time…”, “In a certain kingdom…”, etc., and the ending: “They lived happily ever after…”, “And I was there…”.
