ACTIVITY IDEAS

C
reating student book trailers is always an engaging, challenging activity. Here's a useful site which has a task easily replicated, using free to share images and music plus a link on how to create using power point, with great results!

C
reate your own school based awards using the criteria from the CBCA website. Scroll to the bottom of the Entry Information page to download the 'Further judging criteria' pdf.

Where do you love to escape most to read? Use this quote by Mason Cooley as a kickstarter:
  
    "Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are."


​Design a travel brochure (online brochure or paper) to your favourite fictional place. Fancy a weekend at Hogwarts perhaps?


Try creating stage based library 'escape' activities where students need to unlock a code, solve a puzzle or a problem in order to get a 'key' to escape from their 'locked' library. 

Check out TL Mandy Kirk's Library 'Escape' Task!  The postcard below contains the initial clues - find it on the site.  Easily adapted for a variety of stages.

The NSW Arts Unit has made several author/illustrator videos available as part of the celebrations for Book Week.

Thanks to Chelsea at Thirroul PS for her illustration above!
