Diary of a Wimpy Kid DVD packshot

Home

During his summer vacation, ‘Wimpy Kid’ Greg Heffley, the hero of the phenomenally successful book series, hatches a plan to pretend he has a job at a ritzy country club – which fails to keep him away from the season’s dog days, including embarrassing mishaps at a public pool and a camping trip that goes horribly wrong.

Teachers' Notes

Designed for students of English and PSHEE aged 7-13, the resource uses film content from Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3: Dog Days to explore some of the themes and characters in the story whilst also offering an exciting competition with fantastic prizes based on reconfiguring the official trailer.
