You may be thinking to yourself that they need to lighten up, it's supposed to be just a bit of fun, and in theory I agree with that sentiment – indeed I used to love doing it myself as a child. And if you've never experienced a child with this fear you probably think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. If you're a parent who hasn't thought about it until the night before and you find yourself waist deep in the dress-up tub at 8pm with a teary child, you start to feel you have failed dismally . It also feels the focus has moved somewhat off books and more onto something not overly related to literacy. I haven't failed, I tell myself, my children love books – they just don't love to dress up. For those of you who have not had to be involved with this event– children are given a theme to dress to and are sometimes encouraged to bring the book as well.
In addition to awesome costume inspiration, Harry Potter can be used by teachers to put a creative twist on science, literacy, and HASS lesson plans. For example, the books can be used as creative writing prompts to get students to write their own stories set in the wizarding world or imagine new adventures for existing characters. Some schools may have rules about this, but in most cases, if your child is reading about their favourite movie, tv, or game character, then they should be able to celebrate their love of reading! This may be a great way to get your kids to read more by buying or borrowing from the library a book about a movie they love. Book Week in Australia is about celebrating books and encouraging kids to read. By completing book-themed activities, the kids get to bring to life the stories they're reading.
