I designed this for a whole school assembly. It is a quiz for Children versus the adults and is differentiated accordingly. It contains fun picture rounds, such as which character enjoys this food? Guess the book, what’s the film ( based on a book), multiple choice rounds and a tie breaker about the seven dwarfs. The assembly also begins with interesting facts about well known books and facts about how reading can be good for you! It ends with a beautiful poem about reading by Julia Donaldson. We had a panel of children and a panel of adults at the front and asked for help from the audience. We even invited parents and governors and it was very successful. This was used for World Book Day but could used for a range of contexts and is suitable for KS2 and 3. Answers are included.
