Schools’ Packs for 2010
Schools Packs will be sent to schools from mid-January 2010 with the World Book Day £1 (or €1.50) Book Tokens. The pack contains an Information Leaflet, and Ideas Booklet and display material.
Please note that the Activities Booklet of photocopiable worksheets and games, appropriate for children from nursery age to teenage has been replaced by a new section here on this site with material specifically designed for use in the classroom or in the school library. We hope that you will find that it offers greater choice and flexibility for school staff.
Full additional Schools’ Packs will be available from January 2010 from the World Book Day Helpline at a cost of £6.
