The Secondary School is celebrating Book Week in Week 7 of Term 3. In what promises to be an epic celebration, Book Week book costume dress up day is being combined with Blue Day on Friday the 26th of August, 2022.
To get involved, staff and students have three choices: wear a blue outfit, wear a book character costume with a touch of blue or wear a blue book character costume. To get involved, students and staff are asked to bring a gold coin donation to school. The funds raised will be donated in aid of men’s mental health.
Book Book Character Costume Ideas
If you are wanting to combine your Book Week and Blue Day outfit, here are a few blue book character ideas.
There are lots of superheroes that wear blue – Captain America, Superman, Captain Marvel, The Fantastic Four. You’ll find lots more blue comic book heroes and villains here.
Mr Men and Little Miss
A great group costume idea, many of the Mr Men and Little Miss characters are blue. Wear blue and add the required accessories or use a big blue paper cutout to create your Mr Men or Little Miss shape.
Classic Characters
There are lots of characters from classic books that wear blue. Take Paddington Bear – blue coat, red hat. Or Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz – blue dress and red shoes. Or Peter Rabbit – blue coat and cut rabbit ears. And don’t forget Alice from Alice in Wonderland with her blue dress and black hair bow.
Ravenclaw – Harry Potter
Ravenclaw students from the Harry Potter series wear blue and silver. You could dress up as Luna Lovegood or any of the Ravenclaw students. Just add a black cape and blue scarf to grey/black pants or skirt.
Characters from Graphic novels
There are lots of characters from graphic novels that wear blue, like Victoria from Ride on who has blue hair, Ashley from The BabySitter’s Club or Bea from Lightfall.
'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll
Pair a DIY card collar with a red dress for an easy Alice-inspired costume. To make the Queen of Hearts collar from playing cards, wrap a large piece of paper around your neck so you can trim it down to the right size.
“Charlie Bucket” from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald Dahl Perhaps one of the most famous Roald Dahl books thanks to the film(s), Charlie Bucket wears normal clothes typical for a young boy such as shirt/jumper and jeans.
The idea is simple: students may dress up as their favorite book characters, rather than the latest trending superhero or ghost. It really makes students stop to think about their favorite book and catch all the details about the character they love.
Characters that wear 'normal' clothes like Horrid Henry, Daisy or Tracy Beaker are great ideas. Just wear your preferred non-school clothes and take in your favourite book!
Dorian Gray, fictional character, the hedonistic protagonist of Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891). He exchanges his soul for youth that never fades.
Going against taboos, create a general outline of how people commonly dress in your society. Decide whether or not everything looks more of less uniform, and how strange it would be if there was a character who tended to dress up (or down). Note: The weather will play a huge role here.
Book Character Day is celebrated every year on October 31st. Students, teachers, librarians, and book fans can bring their favorite characters to life. Schools across the country celebrate by inviting staff and students to dress up as their favorite characters. Need some quick and easy inspiration?
Here are just a few things to keep in mind when trying to become a character performer: Learn to communicate without words - The magic of a costumed character is all in the action and it can be good fun training to communicate with gestures alone. A good actor will physicalize words to convey actions and words/phrases.
Pyjama-based characters include one of The Midnight Gang, Sophie from The BFG, Tom from Tom's Midnight Garden, Wendy in Peter Pan and the grandmother in Little Red Riding Hood.
It's a time where they can transform into a princess for the day, whether that's Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella or Princess Anna from Frozen. We also have Girls World Book Day costumes based on classic novels such as Goldilocks and The Three Bears and the know-it-all Hermione, from Harry Potter.
