Some ideas were new:
After the webinar, MCLS librarians brainstormed.
- Live-Candyland game that Jeanne Slocombe, used at Arnett. She got the materials/idea off the internet. It worked for younger kids 4--6, older kids abused it.
- Buzzing Circle Game, as told by Jason Poole, Webster. Get a buzzer, send one child out of the room. When he/she returns and gets closer to "it"--another child--the buzzer gets louder and more intense.
- Decorated Pool Noodles, also presented by Jason Poole. Cut large pool noodles in half, use silver and black tape to individualize. This was used with Webster's Star Wars Parties.
- Rock, Paper, Scissors contest, suggested by Anne Hicks, Henrietta.
- Pizza Tasting--Teen Program that was suggested. Best sauce, crust, cheese, toppings, and overall flavor. Contact Olivia Durant, Webster, for further details.
