TD Summer Reading Club Week 1: Ages 2-3

Welcome to the TD Summer Reading Club! This year our overall theme is "PLAY" so can you just imagine how much fun we are going to have this summer? There will be 8 weeks of fantastic reading programs throughout the summer and ending just before school starts, it is an amazing way to keep up your reading for the entire summer! There are contests and prizes each week so we can read and play all summer long. 

WEEK 1: Play with your imagination

For week 1 of our reading program we played with our imagination. We allowed our minds to wander off and dream of anything we wanted to! Our question of the day was : What is your favourite thing to imagine?  And there was some brilliant answers! Everything from riding on a unicorn across a rainbow to building the biggest and best Lego city. 

The first book we read was:

We played a mystery bag game in between stories to test our imaginations! I put texturally weird things (cotton balls, paper clips, marshmallows, pipe cleaners and pompoms ) in brown paper bags. Place the bags in a row on a table and have the kids reach inside them, assembly-line style, to guess what they're touching.

The next game we played was  "guess the animal" I held up zoomed in pictures of animal's tails and the kids had to see if they could guess what animal was attached to the tails. Here are the pictures we looked at:
