Hello everyone,

Hi,
At my Halloween Storytime, I read my kids "We're going on a ghost
hunt"
by marcia Vaughan (with actions and all) and then I had the kids go on a
real ghost hunt. Earlier, I had printed and cut up little paper ghost
and hid them in the lobby in the planters, phones, etc. The kids had a
great time finding them and when they brought me one, they received a
little treat. It's a quick, simple and easy activity to do.

I am going to offer a winter reading program this year
which I have named the Winter Vacation Reader's Club.
Children may join any time from the first day of
Thanksgiving break (the 17th) to the last day of the
week that includes New Year's Day (Jan 7th is the last
day). I have designed a game board with 14 circles,
each with a letter in it (I made them into snowmen).
The letters correspond to a category of books, like
books about something that flies, or books about a
journey (perhaps you've been reading posts lately
where people have been offering me creative
categories).
Anyway, the children read books that fit into the
categories and get a sticker on their game board in
the circle that corresponds to the category. That
sounded very complicated, but what I meant was that if
Bobby reads a book about a pet and a book about
something that flies, I stick a sticker on his game
board on those categories.
Three stickers on the game board earns candy or
stickers to take home, five earns a funky pencil a la
Oriental Trading company, and ten stickers earns a
book to take home from our gift book collection.
Hope this helps.

I was actually thinking about doing a winter reading program myself, but
after speaking with several of the high school librarians, there wasn't
much enthusiasm. Well, they were all for it, but didn't think the high
schoolers would be on their winter break. I don't want to put a lot of
effort into something that I think might turn into a total flop, which I
think would happen. So though I still think it is a good idea, I don't
foresee much participation so I have decided not to go through with it.
Good luck to you if you get a lot of participation though! Anything I
can
do to help let me know.

one of which is for a pornographic site. I don't have the magazine yet,

My sister-in-law is looking for a favorite Noah's Ark book from childhood.
Her parents read this book aloud to her repeatedly, but neither she nor her
parents remember the title of the book or the author.
She sent me the following information:
"Here's what my parents remember from reading the Noah's Ark book
several
thousand times. . . .
Long long ago, the book did say
the rain came down, day after day.
So Noah built a boat so wide
that all the animals could fit inside.
Two by two they hurried so,
the little ones fast the big ones slow.
Up the gangplank and onto the ark
the bossy cows mooed and the puppy dogs barked.
The pigs were hungry and got there first--
their manners always are the worst.
The giraffes had the best view
but then they generally do.
(More animals were discussed too)
All aboard, it's just about dark
as they sailed away, safe on the ark.
It was an oversized, hardback picture book circa late 1960's or early
1970's. They think the cover may have been blue and it had an ark and
animals on it. (big surprise)"
Does anyone recognize this? Any help would be very much appreciated!

We've done a winter reading program here for the last 3 years. I usually run
it for about 4 weeks and you are required to read a certain # of books
usually 4 ....depending on age and reading level, when they meet
requirements they are given a ticket for admission to our end of winter
reading party, two years it was a skating party, all they had to pay for
$1.00 for rental, last year we had a polar bear swim ( no fee at all for
library patrons) at our local YMCA indoor pool....we paid for the pool and
lifeguards....always have a GREAT turnout and participation......all ages

Flying ghost game
Use three open topped large plastic pumpkins and set on the floor.
Make
flying ghosts by putting a white fabric over a stryofoam ball and rubberband
right under the head. Toss ghosts into the pumpkins. Make sure
the
pumpkins are far enough away from the kids to make it challenging
Ghouls graveyard
Make 13 RIP gravestone markers on paper, number 1-13, laminate, put on the
floor in a circle. Have kids stand on the gravestones and walk around
in a
circle to spooky music and when the music stops, call out a number and
whoever is standing on that number wins.
Play like cakewalks. Give out cupcakes, candy or coupons to the
winners.
Guess that monster
Play charades acting out favorite movie monsters, without the costumes of
course.
Make a Ghost
Put a big piece of butcher paper on the wall and have different kids draw
different parts of the ghosts body, then have someone else name the ghost.
The more unusual the better.
Have fun

Hello Pubyakkers,
My co-workers are giving a ghost story program in a few weeks but are
having trouble coming up with appropriate games and related activities for
school age children. I know Halloween is just over, so I hope some of you
have tried and true program successes that you are willing to share.
Thanks in advance for your collective help. I love this listserv.
(Can't
wait to get going on Captain Underpants now....)

We circulate each set of BOB books together as one unit. We put them
in
a sturdy cardboard box and shelve them with the other beginning readers.
They are very popular, so most of the time they are checked out.

Subject: circulating puzzles & BOB Books
I've been to several libraries that have puzzles that
circulate. I need to
ask a few questions of those people:
1. Do you count the circulations of these puzzles?
(and if yes, where=20
on
the annual report do you count them?)
2. How do you circulate them? like number of days (or
unlimited), do=20
they
swap one for one?
3. How frequently are they taken out and does it
justify the space=20
taken?
4. And what do you do when someone says a piece is
missing? Discard=20
it
immediately or wait to see if it turns up?
I'm really sounding out this service. At one library
they were highly=20
used
but I don't know if there were consistently used only
by the same folks=20
and
any other details. I'd appreciate any assistance you
can give me.
BOB BOOKS: Based upon the recommendation of a patron,
I purchased Bob
Books, not realizing how incredibly tiny they are.=20
They came in small
boxes, too. Do you catalog each one individually or
keep them all=20
together
in the little box set? If you catalog them
separately, how do you=20
replace
them?
thanks a bunch for any help you can give. I'm always
looking for new
services, new ideas, etc. and appreciate any help you
can give me.
