About this word search

Prince and Queen are the royals on this list, next to a Crown and a Castle. Riding Hood and Cinderella are the longest at ten letters, so start there. No entry is flipped, though several lie on a diagonal.

Many entries come in matched pairs from the stories: the Wolf and Riding Hood, the Frog and the Prince, the Mirror and Snow White, the Wand and the Fairy. Kids who know the stories well will often guess the next word before they find it.

For a reading group, let each pair of students act out the scene one pair of words belongs to, while the rest guess the story.
