Rebel Girls Resource and Competition ????

Download our FREE Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls resource and be in with a chance to win signed books for your school library.

We’re excited to share our Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls resource, perfect for helping budding writers create their own stories inspired by the best-selling book, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo.

The resource, produced in partnership with Penguin Random House, is packed full of activities for girls and boys to help them enjoy the book and write about women they admire.

Teachers – We recommend using these activities with children in Years 3-6. They’re great for looking at non-fiction, narrative, direct speech and women in history and for inspiring creative writing in general – particularly for those who may struggle to get writing.

Parents and Carers – Try these at home with your children aged 7-11. We encourage you to have a go at writing a story too as writing together can be really beneficial for children’s confidence and enjoyment.

Children – Don’t worry too much about spelling and grammar when you’re doing these activities, we care more about your ideas. As one of our 7 year old writers says, ‘Think bold. Think like an owl’.
