Book #16: Hour of the Olympics

Jack and Annie travel to Ancient Greece and the time of some of the very first Olympic games.

For this round of our Magic Tree House book club, we began with a game of Olympic Bingo, using the themed bingo cards found here.

Then, after talking a little about what we liked (Pegasus!) and didn't like (girls couldn't do anything in ancient Greece!) about the book, we moved on to trivia. Find the questions and answers here.

Finally, we made sport/team - themed pennants as a craft using colorful paper that I had cut beforehand in to triangular pennant shapes, self-stick foam shapes, and markers.

Join us on Wednesday, April 8th, for the next Magic Tree House Book Club, featuring book #17, Tonight on the Titanic. Don't forget to register!

Hi Miss Amanda, I am organizing a Summer Book Club with all the boys from his Kindergarten class (going into 1st grade), and our August book is MTH Hour of the Olympics. I was looking on line for activities & came across your blog. I love your ideas & just wanted to thank you for posting about your book club - I found lots of inspiration here & bookmarked your page! I hope you will start up again in the fall :) thanks again! Jennifer in PA
