I recently saw this pin about using them in a library. SO MUCH FUN. I had to whip up a couple for my classroom. The next time a kid doesn't know what to read, they are going to let fate guide them.
Here they are in all their glory. I made them on a picnic table at the playground while my kid was riding his bike at the skate park. #winwin
In case you can't read them, the revealed options are:
- a book with a yellow cover
- a book by an author who has the same last initial as you
- a book your classmate recommends
- a book off the bottom shelf
- a book by an author you've liked before (see how I don't even tell them whether they have to choose a new book or can make it a re-read?)
- a book with a blue cover
- a book with an animal on the front
- a book from the 921 section (biography)
- a book with pictures inside
- a book with no picture on the cover
- a book with 2 or more authors/editors
- a book from the 800s section
- a book set in another country
- a book with two people on the cover
- a book with an Oregon connection
- the first book in a series
I bet you all want one now. Maybe I should open an Etsy shop. Kidding.
This is SUCH a fun idea!! I'm going to link up to this in my Sunday Post!!

ReplyDeleteHa! This comment showed up twice for some reason, so I figured I'd delete one - now it just looks like I said something horrible I wanted to take back! :-)
DeleteI love this idea too. We can all use them when we don't know what to read next!
