Hi! Theme can be a pretty tough concept for students to figure out. Theme is the general idea of a story; It is often connected to the lesson. Students must be able to pull out the bigger idea - the "real-life" connection. This is different than the main idea we have talked about recently. For example, in the story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", the main idea might be that the young boy learns not to lie to others. A possible theme would be about honesty or the life lesson would be that lying causes others to lose trust. Here are some practice activities and games to help with understanding theme.
