3. The Hare and the Tortoise

Primary Drama: Key Stage 1 Traditional tales

The story of 'The Hare and the Tortoise' with simple drama activities for the listeners to join in with.

An interactive retelling of the well-known fable by Aesop. All of the animals are fed up with Hare's boasting about how fast he can run. To prove how fast he is he challenges the animals to a race, but only Tortoise - the very slowest of the animals - agrees to the race.

The day of the race arrives with the animals all watching. Hare feels so confident of his success that he stops for a sleep in the sun. Unfortunately for him he sleeps too long...and wakes up to see Tortoise crossing the finishing line.
