Roald Dahl book title word hunt

by Fellowship Agency June 18, 2018

In celebration of #WorldBookDay and #RoaldDahlDay, we’ve created this book title word hunt that allows the children to select a Roald Dahl book from one tray, and then hunt for the different words that make up the book title from another tray.

You will need…

  • Two Deep (F2) Gratnells trays
  • Some shredded tissue paper
  • A selection of popular Roald Dahl books
  • Laminated words that make up the titles of the popular Roald Dahl books

What to do…

  • Fill both trays with some shredded tissue paper
  • Laminate different words that make up the different titles of the selected Roald Dahl books
  • Hide the selected books in the first tray and mix them in with the shredded paper
  • In the second tray, bury and hide the different laminated words
  • Have the children select a book from the first tray and set it in front of them
  • They should then proceed to hunt through the second tray for the different words that make up the book title of the story they’ve selected

Health and Safety
