This article is about how folktales can help students learn more about the world and different cultures.

- When connections are made between stories, facts, and other meaningful classroom activities, retention is greater.
- Since folktales are so versatile, teachers can integrate language arts with social studies while providing a passage to foreign languages, technology, the arts, and even mathematics (distance, currency, etc).
- Teachers should consider the heritage of their students as they select the folktales and countries highlighted. This opens the door to engaging families to share customs, artifacts, clothing, or language with students.
