Activity sheets for Gloam by Jack MacKay

Get creative with the creepy world of Gloam by Jack Mackay with these fun, imaginative activity sheets. Young readers can reimagine the book’s spooky atmosphere by designing their own cover, create a decidedly suspicious advert for Esme Laverne’s babysitting services, and dream up a terrifying villain inspired by their own fears and nightmares.

Perfect for extending the reading experience, the activities encourage children to think about character, setting, atmosphere and storytelling while giving their imaginations plenty of room to run wild. They can even develop their villain’s appearance, powers, transformation and dastardly motivation before bringing their creation to life on the page.
