Get in the Game - Really! |
There’s a new game to play in the children’s area of the library. It’s called “Are You Smarter than a Summer Reader?” and it’s got a little bit of everything. Players roll the dice to move ahead on the life-size game board and answer questions that cover three categories – sports and games, books and authors, and summer reading programs. Correct answers earn the contestant “library bucks,” and of course the object is to earn as much money as possible. But like most games, there’s some curve balls thrown in as well, so occasionally a player gets to increase his earnings, take an extra turn, switch places with another player, or lose a turn. Upon completion of the game, players are invited to record their scores on the game board.
So the next time you’re in the library, check out the fun! Find out if YOU are “smarter than a summer reader!” If you’re not, you will be by the time you finish the game!
