BBC's
sci-fi show "Doctor Who" has taken American audiences by storm,
especially with younger middle schoolers and teens. The Doctor Who TV series
will celebrate its 53rd birthday in 2016. None of us watched Doctor Who till
the youngest daughter discovered it in 2005 when she was seven. She like the
cool TARDIS time ship in the blue British phone box. The current Time Lord was
the Ninth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston who became my favorite. Her favorite
was the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant. Since the Time Lord has regenerated twice,
with Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Time
Lord. How about free printables for a Doctor Who themed birthday party?
So
if you love galaxy and time hopping in the TARDIS, and battling Cybermen and
Daleks here are free printable Doctor Who coloring pages to extend your
adventures. BBC has eight free printable Doctor
Who coloring pages of
the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor Who characters, as portrayed by David
Tennant. There are coloring pages of Martha (one of the doctors' assistants).
There are online Doctor Who
games featuring Mickey, Rose, Sarah Jane, Martha and other characters.
There are printable coloring pages of Doctor Who monsters and villains--Daleks
(they're aliens that resemble salt shakers). Some of these characters are in
the Doctor Who spin-off "Torchwood" and "The Sarah Jane
Chronicles."
BBC
One has free printable Eleventh Doctor Who activities, too. Oh and don't miss
the super creepy free printable Doctor
Who masks. Cut and paste masks of
the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Doctor Who villains--Ood, Silurian,
Smiler, the Master, Silence, the doppelgangers, the Weeping Angels and a Peg
Doll who makes Chucky look like Chuck. E. Cheesecake! These would be perfect
for Doctor Who Halloween costumes. But beware of the Weeping Angels--don't
blink--they're Doctor Who's scariest, wiliest opponents of all.
There
are free printable TARDIS jigsaw puzzles, coloring pages and crafts under the
nebulous category "Makes" --presumably meaning "crafts to make.
Color Doctor Who Daleks, Cybermen, monsters, creatures and aliens the Time Lord
has battled. You can explore the TARDIS using online interactive activities,
too. You can also play the Game of Rassilon (in several variations) online.
There are quizzes and free jigsaw puzzles based on Doctor Who episodes.
Doctor
Who used to come on late at night when if first appeared in the US. Back then
TV stations didn't come in that great and BBC shows on PBS got even worse
reception. So only hardcore science fiction fans with super-strong TV receivers
watched Doctor Who. But it has quite a cult following now in the US and always
has had in Great Britain.. Each of the 12 incarnations of Doctor Who is very
different the others. The doctors are always good guys, though--even when they
have to do something that seems bad it's really for the good of mankind. Not
many of the older Doctor Who doctors will be familiar to modern audiences
outside of the UK. except perhaps Tom Baker the Fourth Doctor who was
Puddleglum, the Marshwiggle in C.S. Lewis's "The Silver Chair" (Chronicles
of Narnia). This fan site has many free printable Doctor Who coloring pages of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor. And now, back
to the TARDIS!
