Hello My Friends!!!

My post for today is to give you an idea for a Girl's Book Club.  In fact I have two ideas but I will only give one for today. The idea I have for today is to use the American Girl books for a club this summer.  They have books about the Girl of the Year, Historical American Girls, and American Girl Mysteries.  You could pick a genre such as the Historical American Girls and start with 4 or 5 girls.  The girls could read the assigned chapters and then meet together to discuss the book and play games related to the book.  Also, if the girls happen to have American Girl dolls they could bring them along.

So check out the plan below for one book you could start with and then you could make up new ideas for each new chapter or chapters.

American Historical Girls

1.   Plan the first session as a chance to preview the book.  Also, you could make cute invitations  to invite the other girls for the Book Club.

2. When the girls get together for their first meeting have them pick a leader for each section of this book.

3. There are games on the American Girl website that you could use  and other ideas and of course the books are listed there too.

4. Be sure and assign someone to lead the discussion for the next meeting and pick a meeting place .

5.  Be sure and  plan a snack for each meeting.  You know children love snacks.

6.  Let your daughter or granddaughter help with all the plans and enjoy the club together.

Have fun and be sure and let me know how the Book Club goes.

Happy First Day of Summer
