- Description
A courtroom adventure where classic tales collide with real-world ethics—and students run the show.
In this immersive series, middle-schoolers step into a dramatic courtroom to argue the cases of Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Hansel & Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack the Giantkiller, each tangled in legal and moral dilemmas that mirror today’s headlines.
Students take on roles as attorneys, jurors, expert witnesses, journalists, judges, and investigators, learning how evidence works, how arguments are built, and how justice is decided.
Sharp, funny, and irresistibly hands-on, Fairy Tale Trials builds public-speaking skills, analytical thinking, moral reasoning, and confidence—all through the thrill of theater and the structure of real courtroom debate.
Where imagination meets justice—and students discover their voice.
