Though his novels were written many years ago, Roald Dahl remains one of the world's most popular children's authors. His stories have been told and re-told from generation to generation, many of them adapted for the big screen with incredible results. This primary teaching resource explores many film adaptations of his most popular stories, from Matilda and The Witches, to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Fantastic Mr Fox. The cross-curricular activities are accompanied by film clips, an interactive quiz, activity sheets and curriculum links.To celebrate Roald Dahl Day on September 13th (which was the author's birthday), a separate presentation designed to use in assembly, can also be found below. Also available in Scottish Gaelic and Welsh.
