3rd grade story starters

Once upon a time is a great 2nd grade sentence starter for a story. It immediately sets a story - like mood.

Another starter could be: 'Your class is going on a field trip to a place you've never been before. What happens?' It gives kids a chance to imagine a new adventure.

Try 'In a far - away land...'. It takes the kids to a different place in their imagination. They will be excited to know what is in that far - away land. It could be a land full of talking animals or magical castles.

Well, you could tell them a short, funny incident from your own childhood and ask them to continue the story. Or have them close their eyes and imagine they are in a magical place and then start the story from there.

In 3rd grade, the parts of a story usually include characters, setting, problem, and solution. Characters are the people or animals in the story. The setting is where and when the story takes place. The problem is what the characters face, and the solution is how they solve it.

In a far - away land, there was a young boy named Tom. One day, he discovered a magic wand in his attic. When he waved the wand, it created a beautiful fairy. The fairy told Tom that he was the chosen one to save their magical forest. There were evil goblins trying to destroy it. Tom, with the help of the fairy, went on a journey. He met a wise old owl who gave him advice. After many challenges, Tom defeated the goblins and the forest was saved.

In a small Spanish village, there was a 3rd - grade boy named Pablo. Pablo was very curious. He heard about a hidden cave near his village. One day, he decided to explore it. Inside the cave, he saw shiny crystals. He was so excited. But then he got a bit scared because it was so dark. However, he remembered his grandfather's words about being brave, so he continued exploring until he found his way back home.

I'm not sure specifically as I don't know this particular '3rd grade bicycles story'. It could be about kids in 3rd grade and their experiences related to bicycles, like maybe a story of a 3rd - grader learning to ride a bike for the first time, or a group of 3rd graders going on a bicycle adventure.

In a 3rd - grade basketball story, there was a team of enthusiastic kids. One girl, Lily, was the best shooter on the team. During a game, their opponents were very tough. But Lily didn't give up. When the ball came to her, she aimed carefully and shot. The ball swished through the net many times. Her teammates were inspired by her and started to play better too. They all worked together, passing the ball quickly and running fast. Eventually, they won the game and celebrated with big smiles on their faces.

A 3rd grade Christmas story could have the kids making Christmas decorations for their classroom. They could make chains of paper loops or cut out shapes of stars and angels. And then they could write letters to Santa Claus, sharing their Christmas wishes. There might also be a story about sharing and kindness during Christmas time, like when the kids collect toys for the less fortunate.
