Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is a common story across multiple cultures that is quick to capture kids’ imaginations. There are always slight variations and it’s an interesting one to explore the differences with older kids.

This story works particularly well with working on useful story phrases and other common language chunks and expressions, but it also works well as part of a unit on describing people,Ā familiesĀ or parts of the body. We particularly love this story as the basis for a simple drama performance.
