We are celebrating National Library Week this week, with a fun activity! You can even do this at home! We are playing musical chairs (with a twist...) we've set out enough chairs for everyone (we don't want ANYONE left out) and on each chair is a book. We've selected books that one might not normally take off the shelves and look at/check out. They are from all sections in our library, some picture books, some non-fiction books, and a few fiction books.
When the music starts, the students walk around the chairs, and when the music stops, they sit in the nearest chair and have several minutes to look at and read the book on that chair. We move several times (as our library time allows) and then discuss the different books we've had the opportunity to look at. It's been SO much fun to hear from the students who were surprised that they actually enjoyed looking at books they wouldn't have normally looked at. Several even wanted to check them out! =)
It's been a great way to expose students to some new and exciting reading material.
Happy National Library Week!
