Set up your Book Fair

Your Book Fair has arrived in school – what do you do now?

First thing to do is open up the cases in your chosen location. Reception, school halls and even corridors are always a good location as a lot of people pass through.

Make sure you slide your header boards up – these are the large pieces of cardboard that are on the back of each primary school book case.

And don't forget to use your book stands which will be inside the book cases

Don't forget to decorate and really bring your Book Fair to life!

• Create book displays around the school with posters advertising where the Book Fair is being held.
• Don't forget to put up a sample of each of the posters from the poster box - if you do this you can keep the display copies.
• Before your Book Fair, plan the best layout for your space, whether it is the school hall, the library reception or even you corridor! Check out these designs to help you decide how best to set up your Book Fair!
