5George’s marvellous
missing ingredients
‘George couldn’t help disliking Grandma. She was a selfish
grumpy old woman. She had pale brown teeth and a small
puckered-up mouth like a dog’s bottom.’ – George’s Marvellous Medicine
George mixes up a revolting concoction
for his grandma from ingredients around
the house . . .
1. Collect 15 random household objects, for example
Nevermore Ponking Deodorant and flea powder.
2. Lay all the objects on a table.
3. Give mischief-makers one minute to look at them.
4. Make everyone cover their eyes and hide a few objects.
5. Now let everyone look again – they have one minute to
write down what’s missing.
6. The winner is the person who remembers the most objects.
ONE
minute Peel off the food labels from the tins in your kitchen and
MISCHIEF see what revolting recipes are served up for tea!

From page to stage!
Matilda the Musical has been astounding West End audiences since it opened
in 2010. With five Best Musical Awards and four Tony awards (and a Tony
Honor) to its name, it’s a bona fide Broadway and West End smash hit.
Created by the Royal Shakespeare Company, it wonderfully retells Roald
Dahl’s story of a little genius changing the world. There’s also a fantastic
learning resource for schools, with video tips from Tim Minchin and even
draft scripts to inspire budding writers. Visit www.matildawritenow.org.uk
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical has to be seen to be believed.
Directed by Sam Mendes and starring Douglas Hodge as Willy Wonka, it
brings all the book’s magic and Oompa-Loompas to life. Every ticket is
golden, so stop feasting on chocolate for a moment and get yours now.
Schools can make the most of the page to stage resources too! Visit www.
charlieandthechocolatefactory.com
