Moral Story – I Charts, School Education

Quick Answer: Moral Story – I Charts are illustrated moral story charts that tell short fables in pictures, one story per chart, for pre-primary and primary classes; the listing photograph shows the classic tale Unity is Strength. Teachers use them for storytelling, sequencing and discussion of values.

How a Picture Story Carries a Moral

A moral story chart compresses a fable into a few picture panels with short captions, so a child can follow the plot before reading fluently. Unity is Strength, the story on this listing’s photograph, is a good example: an old farmer asks his quarrelling sons to break a bundle of sticks, none of them can, yet each easily snaps a single stick, and the sons see that together they cannot be broken.

Stories chosen for such sets usually come from fables and folk traditions, including Aesop’s fables and the Panchatantra, where the moral is stated at the end. The exact list of stories in Set I should be confirmed before ordering, as sets differ between editions.

Picture sequences also teach story structure: a beginning that sets up a problem, a middle where something happens and an ending that resolves it. A child who retells a chart in their own words is practising memory and spoken language as well as values.

Applications

• Storytelling sessions and morning assembly talks
• Retelling and picture-sequencing activities
• Value education and circle-time discussions
• Picture composition and story writing in the primary years

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Display one moral story chart at a time at children’s eye level and change it each week, so every moral gets its own discussion.
• For storytelling, clip the chart to an easel so the teacher can hold a pointer and face the class.
• Keep Set I and Set II in separate labelled folders so stories are not repeated in the same term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the moral of Unity is Strength?

People who stand together are stronger than people who stand alone. The bundle of sticks cannot be broken, but each single stick snaps easily, so the sons learn to stop quarrelling and support one another.

What is a fable?

A short story, often with animals that talk and behave like people, told to teach a lesson that is stated as a moral at the end. Aesop’s fables and the Panchatantra are the collections most often used in schools.

How should a moral story chart be used in class?

Tell the story first while pointing to each panel, then ask the children to retell it in order, predict what happens next and say what they would have done. Finish by asking them to state the moral in their own words.

What age group are moral story charts for?

They suit pre-primary and primary classes, roughly ages four to ten. Younger children follow the pictures, while older pupils can read the captions and write their own version.

How do moral stories help language development?

Retelling builds vocabulary, sentence formation and sequencing words such as first, then and finally. Talking about the characters’ choices also develops speaking and listening.

Can children act out the stories?

Yes. Role-play works well: in Unity is Strength one child plays the farmer and others the sons, using real sticks or rolled paper, which makes the moral memorable.
