[quote=Anonymous]You could try a book scavenger hunt. Make a list of things and challenge them to find a different book with each item. If you want to extend the fun you could base each hunt around an experience that you can do after you read all of the books. For example you could have a list that includes: a lion, walking, pizza, tree and monkey. Then once you read the books you all go to the zoo. The experience could also be watching a specific movie or playing a game. Another idea is a sticker chart. Pick a fun reward and set a goal for reading 10 books then we get the reward. As my kids got older and had to read books for school I made 2 promises to my kids. 1. I will buy them the book and I will read it too. 4 kids later and we are still doing this. My oldest is in college now and doesn't have much free time to read but she called to tell me that this summer she will be working at a remote state park and she will have time to read! She is making up a wish list of books and we are going to both read them. We will be 10 hrs away but it will be a way to stay connected.[/quote]
