1. After you have read the book with your class, have them write new 'blurbs' for the back of the book. Pin up the blubs around the classroom.

2. Have your students use the Internet and/or library books to find pictures of geese. There are different types of geese throughout the world. Have the students find as many different varieties as they can. See if they can find out what characteristics geese have and use all the pictures and information obtained to make up an information brochure about geese.

3. Have your students work in small groups to design their own board games based on the book, maybe with questions and answers from the story.
Students should begin by thinking of a layout for their board game. Then they should decide how many paths/players they want in their game. Next they should come up with some questions which will have to be answered at selected spots during the game. There should be ways for players of the game to go backwards and forwards and special activities or questions if two player meet where their paths cross. Finally the students need to decide how the game is won.

4. Students could write out the names of each chapter on strips of cardboard. Underneath, they should write a couple of sentences to describe what happens in that chapter. Then in a group, students could have a go putting the chapters back in order of the story. Afterwards these strips of cardboard could be used for display purposes as a way for other children to gain information about the story in a shorter format.
