The Quest for… The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Subject: Literacy/Storytelling

Age Group: KS1, KS2

Region: London/Greater London, North West, West Midlands

Step through the wardrobe and be swept up in the magic of Narnia in this KS1 and KS2 Literature workshop!

Led by the Story Seeker, you will explore C. S. Lewis’ timeless classic book, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. First, you will warm-up your brain with a quick-fire quiz, and also your body with a movement game. Then you will participate in the ‘Battle of the Books.’ Next, meeting the Book Worm, you will have the chance to ask them questions about this children’s classic. Finally, you will go on a guided tour through the world of the book.

When the time comes, will you want to return from Narnia?

You will meet the characters from the story and travel through locations in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, tackling riddles and activities along the way, in this KS1 and KS2 Literature workshop.
