Abstract. In the article I bring the issue of using fairy tales in creating emotional
social skills among children. It occupies a special place in bibliotherapy on the
grounds of unique effect. The fairy tales strengthen, in fantastic form, the regional
views on human intercourse and show ideals of good and justice and criteria of
assessing human actions. Thanks to fairy tales, they stimulate moral development
and enable to adapt socially accepted patterns of behaviour. In fairy tales the life
matters are shown. They try to answer the question what the world is, which rules it
governs and how to cope with fears and risks.
Keywords: social competencies; emotional competencies; art therapy; bibliotherapy; fairy tale
