About this word search
A Wand, a Mirror and a Spell are the working tools of magic in these stories, and the Tower and the Forest are where things usually go wrong for the hero. Snow White and Cinderella both appear here, two tales that have been retold in countless picture books and films.
Every character in this grid stays the right way round, lying across, standing down or leaning on a diagonal. Riding Hood and Snow White appear without spaces. Riding Hood and Cinderella, ten letters each, are the longest.
Afterwards, ask children to choose four words from the list and invent a new fairy tale that uses all of them. The stranger the mix, such as a troll with a magic mirror, the better the story tends to be.
