Roald Dahl: Heroes and Monsters

Activities

• Ask the children to brainstorm what they think is so good about Roald Dahl. Record their comments in speech bubbles to inform a display of Dahl’s books.
• Working in groups, children devise quiz questions for each other around who said what to whom in Dahl’s books.
• Children draw their favourite character from one of Dahl’s books and annotate it, using both Dahl’s descriptions and their own.
• Children create their own character in the style of Dahl considering: what they look like, what they do, how they speak and sound, how others view them, how they treat others.
