Rebel Girls are women who have changed history, sparked debate and challenged stereotypes – and with the right inspiration, we could be raising the next generation of them. If you’re looking for a rainy day activity with real substance, these free Rebel Girls activities are a lovely way to spend time at home with the kids.
We’re big fans of the Rebel Girls books in our house. The empowering and inspiring stories of real female heroes, illustrated by female artists from around the world, make great reading for any age. They’ve been especially popular with our 10-year-old, but there’s plenty for adults to enjoy too.
We were delighted to discover free Rebel Girls activities available online, particularly a journal packed with empowering prompts and awareness exercises suitable for young children, tweens and teens alike.
