Book Week 2025 - Book an Adventure - Class Collaborative Colouring
This collaborative colouring activity provides an exciting, low-prep way to enhance classroom reading corners and literacy displays. The artwork, themed around the phrase “Book an Adventure”, encourages students to see reading as a fun and imaginative journey.
Students each colour one or more sections of the larger poster, which can then be assembled and displayed as a class-created banner. Perfect for Book Week, the beginning of a reading unit, or ongoing reading corner décor.
