Little Red Content Discussion Guide Objective
To teach personal safety using the Red Riding
Hood story Skills Communication, Critical
Thinking, Group Processing, Community
Service   Opening Discussion (5 minutes) Read
excerpt on resources page from the Grimms Fairy
Tale Snow White. See if students can guess
the title. What is this type of story called?
How are most fairy tales alike? (Write on board
innocent/damsel in distress versus
antagonist/villain, hero, deception, challenge,
rescue, happy ending good triumphs over evil,
etc.)  Read excerpt from Aesops Fable, The Hare
and the Tortoise. See if students can guess the
title. This type of story is called a fable.
Can you guess how fables are different from fairy
tales? (Fables also often have good triumph over
evil but are different in that they make animals
appear human and they teach a lesson.) Wh
ich type of story is Little Red Riding Hood? How
does the story of Little Red Riding Hood fit the
elements of a fairy talea fable?

2 (It appears to be a combination of both
damsel in distress, deception, hero, etc. but the
villain is an animal with human qualities and the
story teaches a lesson.)  RRH is unique in other
ways. This story started as an oral tale and has
a version in almost every culture. People
throughout time have obviously been concerned
about protecting their children from people who
would harm them and the lessons in this story
still apply today.   Lets take a closer look
at the main characters. How would you describe
RRH at the beginning of the story? At the end?
What changed Little Red Riding Hood?
(experience) How would you describe the wolf
when he first meets RRH? At the end? What
changed the wolfs behavior? (opportunity got
her alone) What lesson do you think this story
was trying to teach? Dont be deceived by
what appears to be dont trust your life with
those you barely know dont talk to strangers
dont give out personal information dont go
anywhere alone dont take shortcuts, etc. (Write
all on the board.)

Little Red Content Discussion Guide cont.
3 Read the moral included in an early
version of RRH Children, especially attractive
well-bred young ladies, should never talk to
strangers, for if they should do so, they may
well provide dinner for a wolf. I say wolf,
but there are various kinds of wolves. There are
also those who are charming quiet, polite,
unassuming, complacent and sweet, who pursue
young women at home and in the streets. And
unfortunately, it is these gentle wolves who are
the most dangerous ones of all. Charles
Perrault, Paris, 1697 !!!   Is that still a good
lesson for today? Why? Safety Tips Discussion
(15 minutes)   A lesson learned from RRH is that
you cant always recognize someone dangerous by
how they look only by what they do. And what
they do may change with opportunity. One way to
keep yourself safe is to be aware of choices you
make that put you in a situation that enables a
wolf to trap you.

Little Red Content Discussion Guide cont.
4 Explain the Risk Meter. RRH was at
level one at home, Level three in the
woods, Level five when she met
the wolf, Level seven when she gave out
personal information Level nine when she found
herself alone with the wolf   What choices could
RRH have made that would have protected her? We
all need at every age to be aware of choices we
make that increase our risk and our chances of
being caught in a dangerous situation. Beware,
and be aware. Stay alert so you dont get hurt.
Knowing what to do can keep you safe and
protected. With that in mind, lets see how many
modern safety tips we can create and match to the
age old story of RRH.   Small Group Activity
(10 minutes)   Divide class into groups one for
each story board.

Little Red Content Discussion Guide cont.
5 (If you have more time, give the class 5
minutes to brainstorm in small groups and write
down as many safety tips as possible from the Red
Riding Hood story. You might put on the board
Inside the home and Outside the home. Call
time and have the group with the most tips list
them on the board under the correct heading. Add
tips from other groups that are not on the
list.) Assign each group one of the pictures
from the Red Riding Hood story and ask them to
pick the safety tip (or tips) from the list
provided (and from the board if that activity was
done) that goes with that part of the story.
Attach the pictures to the blackboard and under
the picture list the tips that apply to that part
of the story. Go over the safety tips and
discuss them as a class. Be sure to touch on
internet safety thats like being alone in the
woods AND blindfolded. Obviously this story is
not really about a wolf. Why do you think a wolf
was used in the story instead of a man?   (To
make a more lasting impression and to emphasize
the danger..)

6 How could we tell the Red Riding Hood
story in a way that would make a lasting
impression on young people today?   Group
Activity (20 minutes)   Divide class into two or
three groups depending upon class size each
group has several large sheets of newsprint and
markers or crayons.   Give each group ten minutes
to come up with a modern version of the scene in
the RRH story where RRH meets the wolf told in
a way that will capture the attention of young
people today like the wolf did in olden times.
Keep in mind the following questions a. Who
is the innocent target? Whats he or she like?
b. Who is the villain? Whats he like?
c. Where do they meet?
What is the trap?
d. What is the lesson you want to teach?
Draw a picture of the updated version of that
scene no skill required.

7 Attach pictures to the wall and have
someone from each group share their version of
the story with the rest of the class. Discuss as
a class which story would be most effective or
combine elements to create a new version.
  Service Learning Opportunity Have the story
written by the class and then acted or told to
younger classes or parents.) Closing Class
Activity (5 minutes)   Watch the Little Red
Said DVD as a class then do the song as a
class clapping the rhythm. One person says one
verse and points to the person who will say the
next verse entire class says the chorus each
time. Explore different rhythms and activities
to do along with the rhyming so that it is said
at least three times. Make new Little Red Said
verses with additional safety tips.    Post-test

Little Red Content Resources   Excerpt from
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Grimms Fairy
Tales)   ..The King took another wife, a
beautiful woman but proud and overbearing and she
could not bear to be surpassed n beauty by
anyone. She had a magic looking-glass, and she
used to stand before it, and look in it, and say
Mirror, mirror on the wall, whos the fairest of
us all? Excerpt from The Hare and the
Tortoise (Aesops Fables)   The Hare was once
boasting of his speed before the other animals.
I have never yet been beaten, said he, when I
put forth my full speed. I challenge any one
here to race with me. The Tortoise said
quietly, I accept your challenge.
(Moral Then said the Tortoise Plodding wins
the race.)

Little Red Content Lyrics to Little Red Said
song Wolves still prowl today looking for
their prey But knowing how to see a wolf
can keep a wolf away. Little Red said Use
your head.   Little Red was cool she did good
in school, And on the street tho she was sweet
she was nobodys fool. Little Red said Use
your head.   Whether walking in the wood or
playing in the hood She stayed alert for anyone
or anything not good. Little Red said Use
your head.   When she was outside her eyes were
open wide She kept a space around her and let no
one get inside. Little Red said Use your
head.   When visiting the mall she knew not to
fall For one who said, Please come with me to
do a modeling call. Little Red said Use your
head .

Little Red Content Lyrics to LRS song
cont.   She never took a ride from anyone
outside Cause once she left a public place her
danger magnified. Little Red said Use your
head.   If her parents didnt know, she refused
to go No matter what the reason was, her
answer still was no. Little Red said Use your
head.   Little Red had always known to go
nowhere alone But always take a friend with you
and not just on the phone. Little Red said
Use your head.   Little Red already knew that
friends werent always true And sometimes
someone dangerous was someone close to
you. Little Red said Use your head.   Shed
babysit at home for people on the go But would
not go in any car with dads she did not
know. Little Red said Use your head.

Little Red Content Lyrics to LRS song
cont.   While surfing on the net she would not
forget To stay away from chat rooms and the
folks she hadnt met. Little Red said Use
your head.   She knew that while on line the
wolves would try to find Any info they could use
to get inside her mind. Little Red said Use
your head.   When in bed at night doors and
windows were locked tight So she could sleep
quite peacefully knowing all was right. Little
Red said Use your head.   Wolves still prowl
today looking for their prey But knowing how
to see a wolf can keep a wolf away. Little
Red said Use your head. Be like
Little Red!
