Added by Kathleen Marcoux Folktales are part of the Folklore genre and have been passed down from generation to generation orally. Folktales include epics, ballads, legends, and folk songs, myths, and fables. They are enjoyable stories that spark children's imagination and entertain while teaching them moral lessons. Folktales often have talking beasts, rhymes, and songs in their stories. Good wins over evil and the stories are often funny and have happy endings. Students enjoy these stories because the good guy wins and justice is served. The morals of these stories teach children that hard work always pays off.
