These stories are great for group activities. For example, students can discuss the characters and what they learned from the story in small groups. This promotes communication and critical thinking skills among first graders. Also, teachers can use the stories to teach basic grammar and vocabulary. Since the language is simple and age - appropriate, it's easier for the students to pick up new words and grammar rules while enjoying the story.

In English teaching, 'telling time stories' can be a great activity. Teachers can choose some classic stories that are related to time, such as 'Cinderella' which has elements like 'at midnight'. After reading the story, students can discuss how time is important in the plot. Then, they can be asked to rewrite the story changing the time elements. This makes them think about how time affects the sequence of events and also enhances their language skills as they have to use appropriate time - related words and phrases.
