Culture note: Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood is a traditional fairy tale that was passed down orally from generation to generation until it
was recorded as Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, by the Frenchman Charles Perrault in the 17th century. The best known
version, however, comes from the Brothers Grimm tale Rottkäpchen, written (in German) in 1812. Slightly different
versions of the story exist in many different countries.

In the story, Little Red Riding Hood travels through the woods to visit her grandmother. A wolf asks where she is
going and tricks the little girl into stopping to pick flowers while he rushes to the grandmother’s house, eats the
grandmother, puts on her clothes, and waits for Red Riding Hood to arrive. The wolf’s disguise fools Red Riding Hood,
but she is saved by a woodcutter, who kills the wolf and cuts open its stomach to free the grandmother.

A less violent version where the wolf hides the grandmother in a cupboard is usually used in school plays!

know the characters in the story? What story is it? (Little Red Riding Hood). Do they know what happens in the story?

Presentation

 If children know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, encourage them to tell you what happens (they do not have to
