Step 1: Decide on your fairy tales moral
A moral is an important lesson your reader learns when they finish reading a story. For example, the moral of Cinderella is showing kindness to everyone, no matter how they treat you. It is her kindness that wins the Prince over and helps her to live happily ever after. Other great examples of morals can be found from reading Aesop’s fables, just check out this post on top 12 life lessons from Aesop’s Fables.
Step 2: Create your hero
Some common traits for your hero or heroine could be kind, humble, innocent and kind-hearted. They must be someone that your reader could relate to and feel something for. Therefore it is a good idea to make your main character a normal, everyday person who could change throughout the story. Think about Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk or Snow White.
Step 3: Create your villain
A fairy tale without a villain would be pretty boring. Create an evil character to test your heroes’ abilities and cause them some pain. The villain in fairy tales in normally the source of conflict. For example they might stop your hero from achieving their goals or hurt them in some way. Some common villains, include the Big Bad Wolf, Cinderella’s step mother or the evil queen.
Step 4: Think about the magical element
Magic is the best part of any fairy tale. It is the magical element that guides your hero and helps them get their happy ending. Think about the fairy godmother’s role in Cinderella or the Genie in Aladdin. When creating your magical element, use the “What if” technique. What if the teapot could talk? What if the cat had magical powers? This is a useful technique to help you think outside the box and create some really magical elements for your fairy tale. And remember any everyday object can have magical powers in a fairy tale.
Step 5: Describe the setting
Different settings can create different moods in your fairy tale. For example a nice little cottage in a forest is the perfect place to create a cosy, warm feeling. While a gloomy castle might set the scene of a dark, gothic fairy tale. Other example of common settings in fairy tales include an enchanted forest or a royal palace. When choosing your setting you can also choose the time period of your fairy tale. Common fairy tales were set in the 18th or 19th century, but what if your fairy tale was set in the future?
Step 6: Write a happy ending
The most important part of your fairy tale is a happy ending. All fairy tales end in happy endings, so what is yours? Think about how the conflict in the fairy tale is resolved or how does the villain get defeated? For example in Cinderella, the glass slippers fits her foot or in the Ugly Duckling, the duck turns into a beautiful swan.
