The Hobbit

Here’s a series of exercises designed to be used after readers have finished reading The Hobbit. Pairs identify the speaker of a series of quotes, match characters with qualities, and provide evidence from the story to support their conclusions. Groups examine how Thorin changes over the course of the novel, and compare chapters 5 and 12. Partners try and solve a series of ancient riddles and then decode Bilbo’s riddles as he talks with Smaug. A great resource to use with Tolkien’s classic!
