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

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

Book Five Game: Ninja Bingo

(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.

Book Six Craft: Terrarium
