About this word search
Fairy tales travel. Cinderella has cousins in old stories from China, Egypt and many other places, and Snow White and Red Riding Hood have been retold so often that most children know a version before they can read. Comparing two tellings of the same tale, perhaps a picture book and a movie, makes a good reading project.
Words in this fourteen by fourteen grid may lean diagonally or sit in a row or column, and all of them read forwards. Riding Hood and Snow White appear without a space. Wand, Frog and Troll are short, so save them for last.
Afterwards, children can write a tale of their own using five of the words, with a Mirror or a Spell that changes everything halfway through.
