Explore the difference between story settings and non-settings with this cut-and-paste worksheet.

Identifying Story Settings

One of the first story 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
