The Pablo and Splash: The Castle Quest activity pack supports the 2026 World Book Day £1/€1.50 book. The pack includes simple prompts and activities to help children explore the story, build reading confidence, and enjoy reading for fun. The Pablo and Splash: The Castle Quest activity pack features book chat questions from Coram Beanstalk and creative ideas from My Kind of Book. The pack also helps children think about quests, friendship, and time travel before they open the book.
Why it works
The activities encourage children to talk about the story, explore clear themes, and connect ideas to their own lives. Using the Pablo and Splash: The Castle Quest activity pack supports reading for fun by growing confidence, curiosity, and imagination. Each task offers a low-cost way for adults and children to enjoy the 2026 World Book Day title together while exploring playful, story-inspired activities.
How to use it
Print the activity sheet and choose an activity to enjoy at home, in school, or in a community setting. Children can talk about the book chat questions, draw an underwater scene, or act out a simple quest around their space. The pack works with or without the book, and every activity encourages confidence and enjoyment around stories.
