Roald Dahl enjoyed playing with words creatively, sometimes inventing his own words like the snozzcumber vegetable in The BFG and Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight candy in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The document provides examples of made up words from Dahl's books that show his imaginative wordplay.

1. Word play
Roald Dahl loved to play with words in imaginative ways,
even making up some of his own!
• Remember the vegetable from The BFG called the
snozzcumber?
• Wonka’s Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow
Delight!
• The Wangdoodles and Hornswogglers the Oompa Loompas
have escaped from?

2. Word play
Look at your image card.
