Join a book club

What can we use if we don't have bookmarks or sticky notes?

If you don't have bookmarks or sticky notes, fold small scraps of paper, use paper clips or index cards, or make simple corner bookmarks so you can still 'Use bookmarks or sticky notes to mark the pages you like best'.

What should we do if someone hasn't finished the book before the meeting date?

If a friend hasn't finished the book before the meeting date, ask them to bring a bookmarked favorite page or listen while others read aloud so they can still 'Share your favorite part' and join the discussion and vote.

How can we adapt the club activities for different ages?

For younger children, replace the 'write three short sentences about the book' step with three drawings and use sticker voting, while older kids can write longer reviews, lead the 'Ask each friend to say one book' discussion, and organize the vote.

How can we personalize or extend the book-club meeting?

Personalize your meeting by crafting themed bookmarks to bring, creating a poster listing 'all the book suggestions', recording a short group video, and then 'Share your finished creation on DIY.org'.
