While most of my reviews are for teen books... I thought I would share the events from our Dr. Seuss Day at the library. This program was geared towards ages 4-12 years so we did have a few tweens present. We read aloud from Horton Hears a Who and There's a Wocket in My Pocket. The latter was a fun favorite.
We also hosted a tossing game... it was really simple with two baskets. One would gain the participant a free book and the other would earn them a free bookmark. We marked off one of our aisles in the stacks and held it there with a a teen volunteer.
Two craft stations were featured. One with a mini Cat in the Hat hat and another with a super cute Lorax windchime I created.
We had over 90 participants and my lead also made green eggs and ham inspired candy with frosted pretzels and green M & Ms.
This was one of our larger programs, so teen volunteers were a must. If you have teens looking for volunteer hours this is the perfect way to incorporate them in your programs. They earn extra hours and you get a quality program!
HOORAY FOR DR. SEUSS DAY!
