Three Little Pigs Story Pdf Free

[Martez Fields]

Thisstory is about three little pigs and the big bad wolf. The pigs build houses from straw, sticks and bricks. The first pig builds his house out of straw, the second little pig's house was built with sticks and the third pig builds his house out of bricks. When the wolf comes knocking on the pigs' doors, the pigs see the wolf coming and all believe their house is strong enough to protect them.

The three pigs all have different experiences when the wolf comes knocking. When the wolf comes to the straw house, he blows it down easily. When the wolf visits the stick house, it takes a bit more effort but he still manages to get in. He then goes to the third pig's house, which is made of bricks. No matter how hard he huffs and puffs, the third pigs' house won't be blown down.

The moral in the Three Little Pigs story is that persistence pays off. The third pig considered the options and chose the material that would take the most amount of effort and time to build his house, however this pays off because it is the most effective at keeping the wolf out. Whereas the first two pigs spent the least amount of effort and time to build their houses and unfortunately were not able to keep the wolf out of their houses!

The first little pig was very lazy. He didn't want to work at all and he built his house out of straw. The second little pig worked a little bit harder but he was somewhat lazy too and he built his house out of sticks. Then, they sang and danced and played together the rest of the day.

The next day, a wolf happened to pass by the lane where the three little pigs lived; and he saw the straw house, and he smelled the pig inside. He thought the pig would make a mighty fine meal and his mouth began to water.

So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down! The wolf opened his jaws very wide and bit down as hard as he could, but the first little pig escaped and ran away to hide with the second little pig.

The wolf continued down the lane and he passed by the second house made of sticks; and he saw the house, and he smelled the pigs inside, and his mouth began to water as he thought about the fine dinner they would make.

So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down! The wolf was greedy and he tried to catch both pigs at once, but he was too greedy and got neither! His big jaws clamped down on nothing but air and the two little pigs scrambled away as fast as their little hooves would carry them.

The wolf chased them down the lane and he almost caught them. But they made it to the brick house and slammed the door closed before the wolf could catch them. The three little pigs they were very frightened, they knew the wolf wanted to eat them. And that was very, very true. The wolf hadn't eaten all day and he had worked up a large appetite chasing the pigs around and now he could smell all three of them inside and he knew that the three little pigs would make a lovely feast.

Well! he huffed and he puffed. He puffed and he huffed. And he huffed, huffed, and he puffed, puffed; but he could not blow the house down. At last, he was so out of breath that he couldn't huff and he couldn't puff anymore. So he stopped to rest and thought a bit.

But this was too much. The wolf danced about with rage and swore he would come down the chimney and eat up the little pig for his supper. But while he was climbing on to the roof the little pig made up a blazing fire and put on a big pot full of water to boil. Then, just as the wolf was coming down the chimney, the little piggy pulled off the lid, and plop! in fell the wolf into the scalding water.

Next, we retell the story together. I started our retelling by setting the scene of the three little pigs leaving home. For visuals, I used the awesome graphics I found at Graphics by Ruth. As the children chimed in to retell the Three Little Pigs, we paused to discuss the scientific principles in the story. Why was the wolf able to blow down a house made of straw? What makes a material strong? Our science buzzwords for the program were material and strength, and our retelling really focused in on those concepts.

Everyone leaves with a book and/or sheet of at-home activities to reinforce our topic. All of our versions of the Three Little Pigs were checked out after the program, as were most of our non-fiction titles on materials and strength. I also made available a one-page (front and back) activity sheet that would continue to engage children in the concepts we had talked about. One activity called for having a grown-up take the child outside to draw a picture of his or her house, then talk about what it is made of. Another section suggested that caregivers replicate our stations at home, albeit using water instead of air as a test for strength. It is important to me to have these grab-and-go preschool science activity hand-outs accessible both in the program and at the check-out desk for a week afterward; since not every preschooler can attend the in-library program, I want to ensure families have resources to support at-home science if they are so inclined. That way a huge variety of children have access to STEM activities.

I just have been assigned my dream job of school librarian/science lab teacher at our pre-k and k campus. Just found this web post as I was searching for ideas. Would love to see your activity sheets.

Thanks in advance.

Hello I have just began as the STEAM programmer for my library. Would love to be included in all you do. My daughter adores The Three Little Pigs! Please send me your activity sheets as well. Thanks again Amy.

Hello, I work with young kids from 2-5 years old. We are starting to do early literacy nights with the little kids and their parents. I love this STEM challenge, it gets them going and thinking. I was wondering if you can email me activities sheets. I love this idea.

Hi Amy,

My name is Donna Bandiera & I work as an Early Childhood specialist with Ashley Salvano for the Burbank Public Library.

We truly love your idea of preschool STEM activities and programs.

Would it be possible to email me your at-home activities sheets to get some ideas. Your blog has been a tremendous help. Thank you!

This is great. We have just started to really focus on using STEM more in our school. I would love copies of your worksheets and any other books that you have developed STEM activities for. It is so nice to be able to share ideas and not ahve to create everything from scratch.

I started a STEM storytime at our library last September. My formula is:

Welcome song

story

action song

story

song

story

game

experiment

goodbye song

The program lasts 30 to 40 minutes and the kids love the action. The experiment is tied into the theme for the day (Rainbow theme Rainbow in a jar experiment).

I also send home a sheet that explains the experiment so the children and their parents can duplicate it at home. I also suggest how they can change the experiment to get different results so they can compare the experiments.

I would love to see your activity sheet.

At first I was kind of stumbling my way through but it has gotten easier and I look forward to the reaction from the children. Last week the experiment did no go as planned but we talked about variables that may have caused things to go wrong. Everyone was excited to go home and try the experiment so they could report back to me the next week.

This is a great idea! We are just starting to use STEM in our kindergarten classroom. Our last project was to create a paintbrush, paint a picture with it, and then reflect on what they would change. We are trying to find ways to incorporate our STEM projects into LA. We are doing the 3 little pigs this week and creating houses. I just cannot figure out if they should work in groups, alone, or if we should do it all together as a class. I am interested in the worksheet that you send home. Is it possible to get that emailed to me? If not I understand. Thank you so much!

I love your STEM program ideas. I have just been tasked with creating a year-round preschool science and math program like this for next fall and would really appreciate seeing some of your take home sheets. Thanks!

I love this site and I plan on reading everything in it. I am a teacher and have also been teaching after school science to Prek-2nd grade for six week programs. Our last one was all about chemistry. I would love to share some of my fun experiments with you in exchange for some activity take home sheets.

Thank you so very much for being willing to share your STEM ideas and activities.

I am taking you up on your offer to email the at-home activities sheets for the programs you have offered. Material on themes of The Three Pigs, Dinosaurs, and Nocturnal Animals would be very much appreciated!

While lecturing to my 100-student freshman class last year and assuming that many of them would wait until the night before to write their first paper, I got the bright idea of asking them if they understood the lesson of the "Three Little Pigs."

The students' reactions shocked me. The first surprise was that half of the class had not even heard of the story. The bigger shock came when I decided to tell the story to the other half. I started to explain that the first two pigs built their houses out of grass and sticks, respectively, because it was quick and easy. The wolf blew down their houses and ate them. The third pig built the house out of brick and not only survived the wolf's powerful breath, but tricked the wolf into coming down the chimney and falling in a pot of boiling water, after which the hardworking pig ate the wolf.

Halfway through the story, several students interrupted to tell me that I told the story wrong. They said that the first two pigs escaped and ran to the house of the third pig and lived happily ever after. The wolf just moved on as if the frustration was enough of a punishment. (There was also a feminist twist to the story because the two lazy pigs were boys, and the smart one was their sister.)
