Read More-- Your New Year's Resolution?

Top of your new year's resolutions list is to read more, right?

Maybe you want to read more as a family, or to encourage your child to read "out of the box."

We've set up a Winter Book Bingo that can refresh your child's stale reading list or provide a starting place for a reluctant reader.

Bingo Display in the Children's Room

In the back of the children's room we have printed several of these sheets so that you can play at home. You may also download a copy: Choose one for your child's age group, or for what you feel is appropriate for his/her reading level.


Offer incentives as your child accomplishes each BINGO and perhaps offer a mega prize if they get a blackout (that means they read one book for every square!)

Our ideas for incentives:
  • Get of out of daily chores coupon; 
  • Stay up 30 minutes late; 
  • Have a sleepover; 
  • Get to choose dinner. 

Be creative with incentives. You don't have to spend money to give these rewards. Have fun!

Have you done something like this before?
Are you excited about the possibilities for your family?
