May 31, second session of the book club.
For the second session I designed the following creative game
for children between 3-8 ages: cross-out words with Dr. Seuss. Hoping that everyone
in the audience likes Dr. Seuss, I chose one of my favorite books of his, The
Green Eggs and Ham. I created charts with random words from the book. Every
participant got a paper with a different chart. While I was reading the book,
participants had to find and cross out the words that I was reading. The
winner had to find and cross out all words in the chart. The goal of the game
was to make the children quickly recognize words.

The second game –that turned out to be our favorite—was I
spy a letter with the young children. While some of them were super active trying
to catch the letters, Jessie, the youngest reader, less than one year old, was carefully
listening to the sounds of the letters.
