Free teaching resource for The Twits by Roald Dahl. KS2 activities. Printable.
Using Dahl's style from the opening chapters, pupils describe a fictional horrible person they have invented. They should focus on physical description that reflects the person's inner character — but MUST use fictional characters, not real people.
Pupils draw the Twits' room with all the furniture glued to the ceiling. Labels should explain what the Muggle-Wumps used as glue and how they got the furniture up there.
Pupils write a diary entry from Mr or Mrs Twit planning their next horrible prank on their partner. Encourage very specific, inventive nastiness in keeping with the book's comic tone.
