Goal
Celebrate books and spark a conversation about reading — because enthusiasm is contagious, and World Book Day is a good day to let it show.
You'll need
- World Book Day Colouring
- Reading Prompt Questions (optional)
How to do it
Settle down with the colouring page and get drawing together. As you colour, chat: "Who's your favourite character ever? What would they do if they showed up here?" Keep it loose — this isn't a quiz.
Use the prompt questions if the conversation needs a nudge: "What's the best book you've read this year?" or "If you could be any character for a day, who would it be?" You'll probably end up talking about your own favourites too, which is the whole point.
World Book Day works best when it feels like a celebration rather than an assignment. Colouring together and talking about stories is exactly that.
