Neurodifferent: Activity Pack for World Book Day

World Book Day Teacher Resource – Neurodifferent

Make World Book Day meaningful — without adding to your workload.

This ready-to-use resource, based on Neurodifferent: Born in a Busy World, helps children explore identity, emotions and belonging in a calm and inclusive way.

The pack includes 5 simple, structured activities, each linked to a chapter of the book. You can use them flexibly — choose one, mix and match, or run them as a sequence across the day.

Each activity:
• Takes just 20–30 minutes
• Requires minimal preparation
• Is designed to be low workload for teachers
• Can be completed with or without optional iPad use

Activities include discussion prompts, movement tasks, creative reflection and gentle regulation strategies — helping children understand that there is no “right” way to feel or think.

Perfect for promoting empathy, emotional awareness and belonging — while keeping the day calm, purposeful and manageable.
