Story Box Library Activities for CBCA Book Week

BY JAMES BENNETT


CBCA Book Week 2020 offers kids the opportunity to be curious, and to use their minds to seek knowledge and new experiences.

Story Box Library has created a complete collection of activities that cater for a range of age groups, abilities and interests, and are adaptable for use at home, in the classroom or at the library. Libraries and schools can use this link to download SBL’s CBCA Book Week resources.

Using the instructions and templates provided, children can write a letter to a curious creature, solve a curious message, discover what it’s like to be a CBCA judge or take part in a digital escape room, where they can piece together information using clues based on CBCA-shortlisted titles to find a missing creature – all while engaging with CBCA-shortlisted titles.

Learn more about SBL’s activities for curious creatures with wild minds, and discover how you can engage young minds with shortlisted titles for CBCA Book Week 2020.
