Children could explore density columns, changing the liquids they add to ensure separation. A really challenging version of this is to create different coloured concentrated sugar solutions to create a rainbow of colours in the jar. One thing I have noticed when perusing the hundreds of silly changes made in the books (originally reported by the Daily Telegraph) is that many of them absolutely destroy clever things like alliteration, which is something that Dahl employed brilliantly.

The terrifying witches sniff out children using their amazing sense of smell. Let the children explore their different senses and find ways of confusing them, such as holding the nose when tasting cinnamon or adding confusing colours to juices. Blue lemon juice or green strawberry juice anyone? George didn't say a word. He felt quite trembly. He knew something tremendous had taken place that morning. For a few brief moments he had touched with the very tips of his fingers the edge of a magic world."

Comic Strip Creation: Have the children create comic strips depicting their favourite scenes or moments from the book. Encourage them to use dialogue and captions to retell the story in a visual format. Left with an ungrateful and rude grandma he decides to start a new medicine to make her less rude and mean. He mixes, shoe polish, jujube fruit juice, some spices, toothpaste, and engine oil. He then boils it and puts it in his grandma's medicine. Oh yeah, nasty piece of work, but what it makes you think, though, and wonder, is what's gonna happen to her when she tries the medicine.

It is one of Dahl's shorter children's books. While 8-year-old George's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kranky, are out running going shopping, George's maternal grandmother bosses him around and bullies him.Then when grandma is about to drink the medicine that will kill her (at this point, Mom and george are trying to get her to not take it),Dad says, They try it again, but it does not turn out like the first batch did, it only grew the leg. They give the grandma another batch of the medicine and it makes her shrink to the point that no one can see the mean old grumpy lady. Update this section! And who can blame him? I mean... Quentin Blake's illustrations REALLY show you how disgusting that grandma really is.
