Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is a traditional story from Germany. A girl has to deliver a basket of goodies to her grandmother. But a wicked wolf finds out where she’s going, rushes ahead to granny’s house and swallows poor granny in one gulp! The wolf dresses up in granny’s clothes and lies in bed, waiting for Little Red Riding Hood. Red Riding Hood spots the trick too late! She’s also swallowed in one gulp. Luckily, a brave wood cutter rushes to the rescue, killing the wolf and releasing Red Riding Hood and her granny from the stomach of the wolf. Use our App to help you re-tell the story.

  • Little Dead Riding Hood (zombie story)


2. The basket was full of…

  • cakes and goodies
  • bones and dog food

3. So off she went into the forest. After two hours of walking she was tired. Suddenly a voice said “Hello! Where are you going?” It was…

  • the big bad wolf
  • the big bad cat
  • the big bad bat


4. “Sorry but I’m taking this basket to my granny’s house!” said the girl. “I can’t stand here talking to you…” The stranger was gone in a flash. It rushed ahead to Granny’s house and…

  • gobbled up Granny in a single mouthful
  • locked up Granny in a kennel
  • trapped Granny in a secret underground bat cave


5. The baddie dressed up in Granny’s clothes and got into her bed. When the baddie heard Red arriving she told her to come into the bedroom. “My my Granny!” said Red….

A voice that was not the same as Granny’s voice, replied…
