Other exciting “Gangsta Granny” activities you might like to try

Timetable

At the moment we have quite a lot of time that we must decide how to best use.
In Chapter 5 there is a timetable for 'Granny’s hectic life'!
Could you create your perfect timetable for a day filled with exciting activities that you would enjoy, including how long each would last. (And not just eating biscuits!)

Art

Look at the labelled diagram of Granny on page 18. Could you create a similar diagram of yourself? Don’t worry if you aren’t a great artist, this is a "caricature".

Cooking

Granny’s favourite food is cabbage. Can you divise a delicious cabbage recipe?
If you are feeling ambitious, perhaps you could devise a menu with lots of cabbage related foods.

Words

Like me, Granny loves to play Scrabble.
If you have the game at home, pick out 7 letters from the tile bag and see how many words of 2 letters or more you can make them using them.
The title "Gangsta Granny" is an example of alliteration, as the words begin with the same letter (G). Can you think of any more alliterative titles? Or can you make up any funny ones?
