The students should follow the right path so little Red Riding Hood arrives safely at her grandmother's House without going through the feared Wolf.
Activity: ‘Body parts’.
Write down all the parts of the Wolf that are named in the story.
With this activity we want our students to prove a good understanding of the story and the language used. At the same time they make a review of some parts of the body vocabulary. It would useful to play the famous game “Simon says” after the activity in order to reinforce what they have learnt.
