Activities:
In the story, Jack planted the beans and they grew into a giant beanstalk. Each student can plant their own "beanstalk" Lima bean. Draw a picture of what the "beanstalk" will look like once it's fully grow. Once the plant has grown, compare the picture to the real plant.
Children will need crayons or paint and paper for this activity. This activity will encourage real-world inspiration from the plants they have seen to merge with what they imagine the beanstalk to look like. A "tickle me plant" would also be something interesting, fun, and comparable to a beanstalk for children to grow. It, like the beanstalk, is full of magic.

The giant had two magical things: the hen that laid the golden eggs and the magical harp. Imagine that you own something magical. Using crayons, scissors, paint, fabric, glitter, paper, or other supplies, create what you have imagined. These creations will then be shared with the class in a show and tell circle.
Some examples, such as an eraser that erases solid objects or a hat that makes the child invisible, should be given. This activity will encourage children to use their creativity and to socially interact with their classmates.
There are many things mentioned in the story that you don't see every day. What do you think the giant looked like? The castle? The beans?
This activity could range from drawing one picture of one scene, to creating a book. Paper that has lines for sentences and an empty space for coloring could be handed out, along with crayons. students could practice their writing skills, comprehension, and creativity all in one. Also, this activity could be changed to create a mask of a character from the story. The children could be broken up into groups and perform one scene from the story.
