Teacher Resources - The BFG

While George's Marvellous Medicine features in our new literacy musical Back to Before, we thought we'd give you some suggested teacher resources for another of Roald Dahl's all-time classics, The BFG. 

• Create some new giants to join the horrible crew that Sophie and the BFG have to deal with in the story

• The early part of the book refers a lot to dreams and nightmares.  Draw up a list of dreams and nightmares that children can remember having.

• Write a newspaper report of the campaign to capture the fearsome giants

• Create some imaginary recipes for a giant’s cook book – delicious recipes for human beans and the like.

• Write a dictionary for the BFG’s words explaining what he actually means by some of the unusual words he uses.

• There is an abundance of ideas for classroom activities to be found on this website http://www.roalddahlfans.com/teachers.php#4
