About this word search
Many of the best-known fairy tales were written down by the Brothers Grimm in Germany in the early nineteenth century, and their versions were often darker than the ones children hear today. Snow White, Cinderella and Riding Hood all appear in their collection.
Cinderella and Riding Hood are long and quick to find. Words in this fourteen-square puzzle lie along rows, columns and diagonals, and each one reads the right way round. Wolf, Frog and Wand are short.
Afterwards, children can pick three words from the list, such as a Dragon, a Tower and a Spell, and write a short fairy tale of their own that uses all three.
