Roald Dahl Day - Sunday 13th September

It’s Roald Dahl’s birthday on Sunday and children all over the world are celebrating Roald Dahl Day to remember the storytelling genius that he was.  There are lots of things you can do to celebrate:

1. Read some of Roald Dahl’s books, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, Revolting Rhymes, or Fantastic Mr Fox.

2. Eat lots of chocolate (pretend you’re Charlie and you’ve just been given a whole chocolate factory!).

3. Watch a movie based on a Roald Dahl book, such as James and the Giant Peach, Matilda or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the musical version starring Gene Wilder).

4. Make some revolting recipes.  You could use the Revolting Recipes book for some ideas or just make up your own.

5. Take a test to see what Dahl character you are or colour-in The Twits.  These activities can be found on the Roald Dahl Day website and we also have some that you could do if you come into Central Library at the weekend.

Whatever you do, just have fun and be as wacky as you can.
