Dahl Dictionary Activity Sheets

Get Gobblefunking with Roald Dahl

Oxford University Press have some fantabulous activity sheets for children to use and enjoy this Roald Dahl Day (13 September).

If you do use the resources in your library or school, we would love to see photos. You can share these by using #GetGobblefunking and tagging @OUPChildrens and @readingagency.

Competition

There is also a great competition for children aged 13 and under on the Summer Reading Challenge competition page. If they enter they could win a copy of the phizz-whizzing Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary and a set of creative writing titles, including How to Write Your Best Story Ever!.
