This was a great book, it had some wonderful role models in it.
Judy Blume’s
Fudge-a-mania
This book is pretty funny, I read the first chapter of it. Hopefully I hooked some participants and they will read it on their own!
Craft: Superhero Trading Cards
This week we made
Superhero Trading cards. To make these cards we used a template found on the TD
Summer Reading website. The kids drew their own superheroes on a piece of paper
and had to determine a name, hometown, special abilities and an arch enemy for their
superhero.
Game:
For our game we played handshake murder. To play this game designate 2 detectives. Then have everyone close their eyes and choose a murderer by tapping them on the head. After the murderer is chosen everyone walks around and shakes hands. The murderer squeezes the victims hand while shaking it. The detective must guess who the murderer is before everyone dies.
Snack:
Wafer cookies, and apples.
