Recommended Posts

Hi

As Literacy Co-ordinator I organise World Book Day: I have some ideas, but if anyone has further suggestions, please post them.

• Children bring in favourite books

• Children dress up as favourite character from a book

• Usborne Book Fair in Library

Suggestions for Classroom based activities?

• Children make puppets of favourite book characters

• Paintings/Creative Pictures of characters

• Lotto/Pairs, etc and other Word Games

• ICT – Internet (Cbeebies stories, etc),

• Reading table – children enjoy looking at range of books

• Colouring pictures of book characters

• Make zig zag books about favourite things

• Listen to various poetry

• Collect comics, newspapers, etc, as varied reading choices

• Children share favourite books

• Older children share books with younger children

• Invite parent helpers to dress up – give them notice

• Make models of book characters from play dough, and other construction materials

• Provide a range of writing frames

• Provide props for children to act out stories

• Create book marks

• Invite parents in to take children to book fair

Mix and match characters from one story to another
