The Rick Riordan website's Teachers' Guides section offers a variety of free resources designed to help educators incorporate Riordan's popular books into their classrooms. These guides include discussion questions, reading comprehension activities, lesson plans tailored to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase, and more. The materials are aligned with Common Core standards and support subjects like English Language Arts, history, mythology, and cultural studies. Teachers can use these guides to inspire critical thinking, foster creativity, and deepen students' engagement with the stories. The resources are ideal for sparking interest in mythology and diverse cultures through engaging, student-centered activities.

In the Classroom
Create a mythology-themed trivia game where students answer questions about Greek, Roman, Norse, or Egyptian myths featured in Riordan's books. Make an online quiz using Blooket, reviewed here or Wayground (formerly Quizizz), reviewed here. Have students design a demigod character, including a parent from mythology. They can write a short character profile, including strengths, weaknesses, and a unique quest. Transform the classroom into Camp Half-Blood for a day! Create stations where students complete challenges (ex, solving riddles, crafting "weapons," or navigating a "labyrinth"). Using the hero's journey structure (as seen in Percy Jackson), have students outline and write a short adventure story. Encourage them to incorporate mythological elements and share their stories with the class.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
