This document provides ideas for dressing up as characters from fairy tales with a Singapore twist. It lists original fairy tale characters and proposes Singapore versions, for example Cinderella in a traditional Singapore outfit instead of a ballgown. Other ideas include a durian coach, Snow White as a samsui woman, and the Beast as a merlion. Teachers are encouraged to have students create props from recyclable materials and write a short description comparing their character to the original. The goal is to put a local spin on well-known fairy tale figures.

Tips When dressing up as an animal students can create an animal mask (include other possible parts like a tail) When dressing up as a human character students can create the attire using mah-jong paper and colour/design it to resemble a uniform, a royal attire, etc. When creating a prop (e.g. a fruit, a flower, a crown, a wand, etc.) students can use recyclable materials to create it and then paint the prop Note to teachers: Use the next few slides to compare the original fairy tale character and the fractured version
Cinderella is a Japanese in a kimono and has a painted face Cinderella
The Princess is oriental and wearing a cheongsam with a Chinese hair pin as an ornament Princess and the Frog
Ariel is an Indian with the traditional pottu on her forehead and hair ornament Ariel The Little Mermaid

Prince Charming Attire: Create and wear any of the local Armed Forces uniform
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland Prop: Replace the tall hat with a hand-made Chinese opera headdress
Local cobbler (Elves and the Shoemaker)
Note To Teachers Do emphasise to your students to create the props from recyclable materials Students are NOT required to bring the actual object Students MUST have a short write-up of their character and how it is local / different from the original fairy tale character. Consider the following points: What is the fairy tale title? What is their character in the fairy tale? How does it show the Singapore element? (compare the actual fairy tale character and the one they are representing)
