Ask Michael Rosen Your Question

Have your pupils ever wondered where poems come from?
Or why some stories make us laugh out loud?
Or what it’s really like to be Michael Rosen - the author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, Chocolate Cake, Little Rabbit Foo Foo and Quick, Let's Get Out of Here?

Well – now’s their chance to ask him.

As part of Sky Arts’ Access All Arts Week 2026 (15–19 June), Michael Rosen is inviting classes to send in a question. Funny, silly or thoughtful – we’d love to hear them all.

Submit up to 20 questions per class for the chance to win:

  • A personalised video response from Michael Rosen
  • A special shout-out for your school

Need inspiration?
Your pupils could ask Michael about:

  • What’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you at school?
  • How do you make poems fun to read aloud?
  • Have you ever met a real bear?

How it works:

  • Submit up to twenty questions per class
  • Five lucky winners will be selected by the Access All Arts team and Michael Rosen
  • Winners receive a personalised video answer from Michael Rosen
  • Plus, a special shout-out for their school, included in the video lesson and shared with thousands of schools nationwide during Arts Week

Competition closes: 13 February 2026
