Re: [LM_NET] ELEM: Summer camp ideas

 Hi, if I could have a group for half a day, I would have them write a book. 
We use to play this game where you would start them off with the first 
sentence then each person would add a sentence to the story. You could do 
something like that with each student adding a line to the story then give 
them time illustrate the book. When they were done you could add it to your 
collection or give it to a classroom at the beginning of school. Another 
thing that my kids love  is to do Reader's theater and perform it. If you 
had enough kids to divide into three or four groups, they could work on it 
for a while then perform it the same day. I would also let the kids make 
bulletin boards for the school year. Have them design it and do it on paper 
the size of your board then as the year goes just put the new one up. The 
kids love seeing stuff like that. Especially when they can think back and 
"say I remember doing that, you should have been there. That was cool." You 
als might check out the Streachy lesson books. They have a lot of good 
activites from food, crafts, to lessons but you can't do it all in a 20 
minute library schedule. 
Please post a hit if you get some good ideas. 
  
Hope this helps
