Creative follow-on activities that turn reading into writing, drawing, and book-making fun to deepen engagement.
Rewrite the ending
Ages 6-9
10-30 mins
What if the story had ended differently? Talk it through, then invent a new ending. Encourages real thinking about plot, character and consequence.
Design a bookmark
Ages 3-9
10-30 mins
Design a bookmark inspired by a favourite book — add a character, a favourite word, or just go full creative chaos. A five-minute make with a genuinely useful result.
Create a new book cover
Ages 5-9
10-30 mins
What if your child was the illustrator? Redesign the cover of a favourite book — and have a proper conversation about what to put on it.
Write a book review
Ages 6-9
10-30 mins
Fill in a short review while the book is still fresh — favourite moments, characters, whether they'd recommend it. Turns opinion into words.
