Summer Reading Club Book Bingo

Description

For our kids' summer reading challenge at Red Deer Public Library, we format it as a Book Bingo sheet! Challenges are a mix of reading challenges and challenges that get participants up and moving. This year, we also tried to choose more activities which fit with our theme of "Grow a Reader". Kids get a free book prize after completing 4 rows in any direction, with two chances for prizes over the summer. This year, we are also adding a bonus prize for kids who complete a blackout. Additionally, we translate our English Book Bingo so that we have a French version available as well. Our Book Bingo was a huge success last year and overall it is very easy to put together!
