Book Club
A book club for kids is one of the best ways to combine learning and fun. Reading opens the mind of children to the world and encourages them to dream big. Reading can be fun and exciting as well as teaching. A book club will allow the children to read anything that spikes their interest. In the book club, children will choose a book to read, after a determined set time, the children will be given the opportunity to discuss what they have learned and how this will help them in their lives. Children can read individually or collectively to make it more interactive.
