This Grade 3 English worksheet on Narrative and Story Writing Basics helps young learners understand how to structure stories with a clear beginning, middle, and ending. Through five creative story-building exercises, students practice describing characters, settings, problems, solutions, and meaningful endings while strengthening grammar and sequencing skills.
Why Narrative and Story Writing Matter in Grammar?
Story writing builds imagination along with structured thinking. For Class 3 learners, this topic is important because:
1. It teaches story structure (beginning, problem, solution, ending).
2. It improves sentence formation and paragraph flow.
3. It builds creativity and descriptive vocabulary.
4. It develops logical sequencing and emotional expression.
This worksheet includes five engaging story-writing activities that build narrative skills step by step:
🧸 Exercise 1 – A Lost Toy
Students write a short story about a lost toy, describing where it was lost, how the child felt, what happened next, and how the story ends.
🌳 Exercise 2 – A Talking Tree
Learners create an imaginative story about a talking tree, including its location, what it says, who talks to it, and the final outcome.
🛠️ Exercise 3 – Story with Problem and Solution

🌆 Exercise 4 – Story Beginning from “One evening…”

📖 Exercise 5 – Story Ending
