Folktales are those stories passed down from generation to generation. At first, the stories were told around the fires to entertain, to pass along the history of a group to the next generation, and to caution children of the dangers "out there".
Folktales are found in all cultures. They appear as Greek and Roman myths, as the "Tall Tales" of the early settlers of North America, and as the explaination stories of cultures around the world
Folktales are frequently taught during third grade in the United States. We have built this site to help teachers use technology in their teaching of folktales. We hope you enjoy this site, and that you continue to use folktales in your classroom to teach cultural awareness.
