What We've Done So Far: Books 1-6!
Since our blog has gotten underway after the start of the book club, let's have a quick review of the fun stuff we've done so far!
Book 1: Dinosaurs Before Dark
Book One Trivia: Questions & Answers
Book One Craft: Making a Resin Fossil
Book 2: Knight at Dawn
Book Two Game: Jester
For a book two craft we used hardening clay and stone-like beads to make mini- medieval castles!
Book 3: Mummies in the Morning
Book Three Trivia: Questions & Answers
For book three we used small wooden boxes, golden alphabet stickers, and shiny origami paper to create miniature sarcophagi. All supplies found at Michael's, inexpensively.
*Bonus: for book three, a mummified chicken (prepared in advance by Miss Amanda) also made an appearance! (check back for a picture)
Book 4: Pirates Past Noon
Book Four Trivia Card Game: Questions & Answers

Book 4: Pirates Past Noon
Book Four Trivia Card Game: Questions & Answers
For our book four craft, we made "pirate booty". We decorated cardboard "coins" with silver and gold shiny origami paper, and we decorated paper bags with markers and other various decorative stuff. Then we put the coins inside and took home some pirate loot!
Book 5: Night of the Ninjas
(The link is to a sample NINJA Bingo game card, which is blank. Now you can make up your own NINJA bingo game using the ninja pictures of your choice!)
For our book five craft, we attempted to make a ninja star. Try at your own risk...it isn't easy!
Book 6: Afternoon on the Amazon
For book five's game, we had a relay race in which two teams each tried to get the most fish and/or caimans (paper cut-outs, of course) from one basket into another.
Welcome to the Magic Tree House Book Club Blog!
Hello!
This blog has been created as another way for you to participate in the Magic Tree House book club at Ashburn Library.
If you've attended one of our meetings, you know that Magic Tree House meets once a month during the school year. We began with book one in the Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne, and this month we find ourselves already at book seven, Sunset of the Sabertooth! Our meeting for this fabulous book will be on Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 at 4:00PM. Every meeting features a discussion of what we liked and disliked about the book, a game, and a craft or activity.
If you have yet to come to a meeting, register by clicking on Calendar of Events, and come join us!
Meanwhile, participate in the blog by commenting, and check back for more!
