These 23 worksheet/games will contribute to vocabulary development when you are reading The BFG by Roald Dahl. The worksheet element targets decoding, word families, compound words, comparative terms and spelling conventions while the game component uses a six-sided die and provides the fun. It is more engaging than a worksheet and players of all abilities will benefit from skill development.

The game needs two players, a six-sided die and two pencils or small objects to claim spaces. The object of the game is to read the words and claim four adjacent vertical spaces (a stack) to win. The fun begins as players block each other or have to miss a turn. The game is never the same twice due to the throw of the die. If you have enough dice the whole class can play simultaneously.
