The Diary of a Wimpy Kid – The Long Haul Movie Viewing Guide

Challenge students to think about family, choices, and screen use with this Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul movie guide. Discuss why Greg’s mom worries about his time on devices and what goes wrong with Greg’s secret plan to see a video game star. Talk about if Greg and his brother trick their mom and what that means. Analyze how trying to do something sneaky can lead to unexpected problems. Reflect on times when small choices led to big messes, similar to Greg’s bird feeding incident. Explore the good and bad sides of not using phones or tablets during a family trip. Lastly, explore what Greg learns about spending time with family versus being online.

Discuss with your students 9 high-level, short answer and essay questions by pausing at the designated times on the movie guide. See the thumbnails for example questions.
