A storybook walk can be anything you want it to be.

It can be loud or quiet. It can be active or passive. There are no rules. Be creative. Have fun. The sky is the limit!

“I never thought about having a storybook walk inside. What a great idea!”

— Quote from a Facebook user

Choose your walk!

  • Indoor Walks

    Who says a storybook walk needs to be outside? Why not hang up your storybook walk on windows or the hall of your school? Once you realize that you can hang up your story anywhere, there are endless possibilities.

    Above is an example of an indoor storybook walk which has been hung on the windows of a library.

  • Outdoor DIY display

    Create your own storybook walk cheaply and easily by buying one of the DIY storybook walk editions, laminating them yourselves, and displaying them on yard signs.

    Here is a fantastic example of a storybook walk on yard signs. In this case, numbers have been added on the top on cute little paw prints.

  • Outdoor traditional display

    Traditional storybook walk displays are a wonderful way to show children’s books outdoors. Although these displays are more costly, they also last much longer and look wonderful.

    Here is an example of a wooden storybook walk display.

“Just got this in today and can’t wait to display this for our Meet the Teacher night outside the library!.”

Creative Storybook Walk Ideas!

Scavenger Hunt

Turn your storybook walk into a scavenger hunt. Hang up the pages throughout your school or school yard. Put letters on each page and see if students can put the story in the correct order!

Let’s Get Physical

Place the storybook walk outside and come up with a list of physical activities that children can do while they walk. This can be anything from “jump 1x for each vowel that you read on this page” to “turn around when you read the word ‘dog’ and make a barking sound.”

Literacy Time

Use the storybook walk to teach literacy skills. You could have different students read the story out loud, discuss the way the author has written the story, or ask questions about vocabulary.

Stem or Sensory Stations

If you have the space, set up your storybook walk with STEM or sensory activity stations along the walk. Or create little activities that students can do or make while they are walking.
