Identifying Story Settings

One of the first narrative elements we teach to our littlest learners is story setting – the time and place in which a story unfolds.

This cut-and-paste worksheet has been designed to help your students differentiate between story settings and non-settings. Students are required to cut out the images, then look at each picture and sort them. If the picture is a setting, they need to glue it in the ‘setting’ row. If the picture is not a setting, they need to glue it in the ‘not a setting’ row.

Multiple Applications for This Story Settings Worksheet

This versatile resource can be used in multiple ways in your classroom. Why not try some of the following suggestions:

Whole-class warm-up
Small-group rotations
Targeted intervention groups
Fast finisher challenge
Homework activity
