(Hansel & Gretel)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Take a basket to grandma's cottage in the woods. (Red Riding Hood)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Protect villagers' houses from big bad monster. (Three Little Pigs)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Help a girl discover the name of the evil gremlin who has cursed her, thus breaking the curse. (Rumplestiltskin)</li> </ul>Remember too, that plots which would be hackneyed to an adult will be fresh and new to your children.  So they won't mind rescuing a lost person from giant spiders, or killing the rats in Farmer Brown's grain silo.   You can have them help others in the community solve problems like those I mentioned above, and I'm sure many more will occur to you.   When adapting fairy tales, make sure they have alternatives other than killing the witch, like sneaking H&G out of their cages while the witch is napping, or putting her to sleep with a spell if one of them is playing a caster.   Finally, you could go to the library to look at children's storybooks for ideas.  I'd recommend Hank the Cowdog and Boxcar Children for some simple mystery plot ideas, but of course fairy tales are useful too, and the library is sure to have a big selection of those that you've probably never heard of.</blockquote>
