The BFG has run out of dreams and he needs a little help from the next generation of dreamers.
Giant Dreams: The BFG’s Literacy Programme is a national creative literacy project, developed by Artichoke in partnership with the National Literacy Trust, inviting children across all four nations of the UK to share their hopes, dreams and imaginations.
With a little help from Bea the librarian, pupils will dive into the world of the BFG through a series of creative and educational activities, exploring different types of dreams and bringing their own ideas to life through writing and illustration.
Their favourite creations will become part of a handmade Book of Dreams, collected by the BFG’s Dream Team to help replenish his dwindling supply. Selected dreams will also be added to a dedicated online archive, creating a unique national collection celebrating the imaginations and voices of tens of thousands of children.
It’s a brilliant opportunity to get creative, fire up young imaginations and become part of something much bigger.
