The story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, should be utilized in the elementary school classroom. Its creative plot line offers many opportunites for fun activities.
The first activity (located in the upper left picture) allows students to create their own image of the steam boat that Mr. Wonka takes his visitors on down the chocolate river. As a class, the teacher and his/her students could work as a team to build the boat. The model above depicts the boat made of salt dough and craft sticks. Food coloring may even be added to the salt dough. This particular activity would instill team working skills and patience in the classroom.
The second activity allows students to create their own golden ticket. Each student would decide what phrases would be located on their golden ticket. This activity would ingrain creativity and vocabulary skills. The student's golden tickets would be a wonderful means of decorating the classroom. Other activites include creating a new wonka candy bar and a new candy machine for Wonka's factory.
