The Unicorn Academy: My Secret Unicorn Diary activity pack supports the 2026 World Book Day £1/€1.50 book and includes playful prompts and activities to help children enjoy the story and reading for fun. Through book chat, games, and creative activities, the pack introduces themes of friendship, magic, and adventure.
Why it works
The activities invite children to step into the magical world of Unicorn Academy. Open-ended questions encourage imaginative thinking, while movement games and creative activities help children bring the characters and story to life. As a result, children can build confidence and enjoyment around reading for fun.
How to use it
Use the pack before reading or after finishing the story. For example, adults can:
- use the book chat questions to explore secrets and magical adventures
- create an adventure trail to encourage movement and imaginative play
- try the craft and food activities to support creative expression and storytelling
All activities work with or without the book. They suit classroom sessions, family time at home, and library or community groups
