There are many reasons that Dick might be complaining that this is the worst Christmas holidays ever. In the original Famous Five story - Five Get Into a Fix - it is almost certainly because the children haven't yet stumbled upon an adventure to enjoy!
These are the opening lines of the Famous Five story, Five Go Down to the Sea. Children can use them to spark off their own imaginative story - which will no doubt be very different from the original!
What will your children make of the opening lines of this Famous Five story, taken from the book Five Go To Smuggler's Top? What adventures will they write about, and how will they compare with actual Famous Five adventures in the book?
These are the opening lines of the mous Five book, "Five Go Adventuring Again". They make an interesting story starter and could take your child off in many different directions!
These are the opening lines of Five on a Treasure Island. If your child hasn't read the book yet, why not have a go at writing your own story based on these first few lines. What will happen next? Then read the original and see how your story differs!
Children love putting on a disguise - and it's even more fun if they've made the disguise themselves! Here we have instructions to make your own pair of wacky glasses, moustache and beard. Of course no-one could possibly recognise you once this disguise is on!
As the Secret Seven discovered, one of the fun parts of setting up a club is deciding on the rules! Your children can use this poster to write out there own - for the Secret Seven, an imaginery club, or their own secret society!
If the kids are inspired to set up their own club after reading the Secret Seven - like many generations of children before them, me included - they might like to print out and fill out this official Club Headquarters sign!
When setting up your secret society - like the Secret Seven a good idea to record all the important information on paper! That's why we've produced this fact sheet. Print one for each member of the club, and fill in all the details!
Any good club has members, a password, badge, headquarters, rules - at least it definitely did in Enid Blyton's world, and in my childhood too! This useful club booklet will fit nicely into each club member's pocket and remind them of what's what.
