Hearing Games - the BFG has incredible hearing due to his big ears. These games play up this notion

What’s making that noise? -  Challenge your guests to a sound contest.  Cater it to your group’s age.  Have guests raise hands and yell out answers or write down their answers on a sheet of paper.  You can download free sound clips from the web or make the sounds live behind a curtain or screen

For example:

Young children – try animal sounds, such as dogs, cats, cows, etc.

Older children – race car, doorbell, alarm clock, computer turning on, running water, toilet flush, etc.

Whisper down the lane - A BFG version of the classic game Telephone.

Dream Games

The BFG delivers dreams every night to little boys and girls around the world. He catches them in the land where he lives and put them in bottles.  He then writes down descriptions of the dreams on paper which he secures to the bottles.  Often the dreams are very silly.   

Funny Dreams - Give each guest a slip of paper and have them write down a place (place in a jar/box marked places), then hand out a second slip and have them write down the name of a famous person, character, or friend/family member (place in jar/box marked people), on the third write an activity, the more detailed the better, like playing basketball on the moon on giant tricycles (place in jar/box marked activity).  When all the slips are turned in and place in the correct jar/box, you can start telling the dreams.  Have people come up one by one and pick one slip from each jar.  Place them in order then read them aloud.

Catching dreams - Use bubbles or balloons and have guests try to catch as many as they can in their nets
