1. Wonka faces many obstacles when starting his chocolate shop. What are
some of the biggest challenges he faces, and how does he try to solve
them?
o
Wonka struggles with having no money, competition from the
chocolate cartel, and being tricked by the boarding house owner. He
solves these problems by using his creativity, making friends who
help him, and finding clever ways to sell his chocolates.
2. If you were in Wonka’s position and had no money, how would you find a
way to open your own business?
o
I would try to find investors, work small jobs to save money, or start
selling chocolates on a smaller scale before expanding.
3. Wonka meets many people who try to stop him from succeeding. What do
you think he could have done differently to avoid some of these problems?
o
He could have been more careful about who he trusted, looked for
legal ways to protect his business, and planned better before opening
his shop.
4. Wonka is very creative in solving problems. Can you think of a time when
you had to be creative to solve a difficult situation? What did you do?
o
(Personal answer, but an example could be:) One time, I needed to
fix my broken phone screen but didn’t have enough money, so I
learned how to repair it myself using online videos.
5. At one point, Wonka needs to work with others to achieve his goal. Why is
teamwork important in solving problems?
o
Teamwork helps because different people bring new ideas, share
responsibilities, and support each other. Without his friends, Wonka
would have had a harder time overcoming the chocolate cartel.
6. If you had to create a magical invention to help Wonka succeed, what would
it be and how would it work?
o
I would invent a machine that creates unlimited chocolate from the
air. This would help Wonka produce chocolates quickly without
spending too much on ingredients.
7. Wonka believes in his dreams even when others don’t. Why do you think it
is important to stay positive when facing difficulties?
o
Staying positive gives us the motivation to keep trying, even when
things are hard. If Wonka had given up, he would never have opened
his shop.
8. The chocolate cartel tries to stop Wonka from selling his chocolates. If you
were Wonka, how would you compete with them in a fair way?
o
I would make my chocolates unique, advertise in creative ways, and
give people free samples to show them how special my chocolates
are.
9. Wonka has to make quick decisions when facing unexpected problems.
How do you decide what to do when you have to solve a problem fast?
o
I try to stay calm, think about the best option available, and act
quickly but carefully. If possible, I ask for help or advice before
deciding.
10. If Wonka asked for your advice on how to make his business better, what
suggestions would you give him?

He could create new chocolate flavors, open more shops, or sell chocolates
online to reach more customers.
