After school clubs

[BG2015]

Thinking of starting a Book Club with Y1-3. Anyone done one before?
What sort of activities did you do?
Need it to be as easy to prep as possible after doing Cookery Club 😳 and Art club - both too prep heavy after a day teaching

Nice idea. A quality selection of books - doesn't have to be plentiful.
Audio books - pause children to illustrate the page/chapter heard.
Picture book - children to write (adult scribe) a character caption in a speech bubble.
Magic Hands - BSL storytelling and songs
Character day (mask made during the session no added expense)
Book review
Library visit
Author visit
Book shop trip
Guest story teller (parent/staff/governor/ex pupil - older sibling/work experience student/local MP/ ...)

Thank you for these ideas

Back in the day when teaching was more relaxed, and you had time for such things, my Y3 classes could recite the whole of Wolves by Emily Gravett with hand actions. They LOVED it every year and could remember the vast majority of it. It was great fun. Not an activity I'd have come up with myself but I 100% came round to it. Sure you could do it with many books but that was a fab one. That could be a nice activity for part of a couple of sessions and something to show parents too.
