Primary competition
Design a flag for reading!
Competitions are a G.R.E.A.T. way to create excitement for your Book Fair.
From the Union Jack to the famous five Olympic rings, flags will be flying all over the UK this summer for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
But what about your school’s Book Fair? It doesn’t have a flag … but we think it should!
The challenge
Design a flag to show how brilliant books and reading can be. Your pupils could use symbols, shapes and colours, favourite book characters or even a catchy slogan – as long as it shows what makes reading fun!
The very best flag design will win the prizes listed below.
The prizes
- A Nintendo 3DS
- Two console games: Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and Sports Island 3D
- A copy of each of these sport-themed books: Olympic and World Record 2012, London 2012 Acrtivity Book and Flaming Olympics.
