Alice in Wonderland / English / KS3: PLAYING WITH WORDS

Alice in Wonderland has been a children's favorite since its first publication in 1865. Unlike many books of the time, its primary purpose was to entertain, not give moral guidance. This teaching guide provides a useful introduction to word games adding another dimension to the written word. Follow Carroll's example, get creative with the English language, and explore it through anagrams and other word games.
