Folk Tales Folk Tales, are they a funny version of our past?. They usually include a twist on a true story that teaches a lesson. Because of the style in which folk tales take on, children are drawn to them. Folk Tales include suspense, mystery and magic, all the characteristics that children love. For this reason folk tales make for great teaching tools.
Children put the sound of the words and creative illustration together and let their minds expand on all that there is to learn. There are emotions, history, clothing, language, architecture, and many more areas of study. I love the read of a folk tale and have fond memories of having them read to me. My hope is to continue to pass on those joys found with these wonderful stories.
Thank you for allowing me to share.

Folk Tales and Values Project Folk tales have a direct link to a community's social, cultural and historical values. Our project group will like to gather folk tales from all over the world that have a special undertone in encouraging good moral values.
FTV2+ Folktales and Values 2+ is the second cycle of Folktales and Values Project. With this cycle, we are looking at editing the language of the stories, adding diagrams and drawings to illustrate the stories. We are also looking at gathering background information on the various communities/countries where the submitted folktales come from.
