 Fairy Tales:

OR

Plot Lines:
  • Hero saves Damsel in Distress
  • Hero is set impossible tasks
  • Heroine saves herself
  • Enchantress punishes prideful Character by cursing them
Magical Items:
  • Wand
  • Tablecloth that gives you whatever you want
  • Spinning wheel that spins straw into gold
  • Glass hill

Next, write each thing on a notecard. This could take a while, so you can skip it if you want. After you do this, shuffle all the notecards. However, keep each pile separate. Then, randomly draw one of each. Finally, combine all of them to make a story!

Have fun!
