Summer Book Swap For Children

A budget friendly & fun way to kick-off a summer of reading! Here’s how.

• Invite friends (in the same grade) to bring 3 used paperback books that are at their current reading level.
• After the children arrive, display the books on a large table or two.
• Draw numbers for the order in which the children will choose a book. For example, if there are 10 children at the party, put numbers 1 – 10 into the drawing & each child picks a number.
• Round 1 begins! The child that drew #1 picks a book, then the child that drew #2 picks a book, and so on.
• Before beginning round 2 & round 3, draw numbers again. This turns the swap into a game, adds to the fun and prevents the same child from always
  having first pick or always having last pick!
• So each child arrived at the party with 3 books, and they’ll leave with 3 books!
• After the final round, make bookmarks (using scrap paper, markers & assorted stickers).
• Have information to give the children on summer reading clubs at your local library or bookstore. Most clubs offer incentives or prizes for reading!
• Refreshments.let the children make their own ice cream sundaes!

HAPPY SUMMER READING!

P.S. – When my children were in elementary school, I loved hosting a summer book swap! It became an annual tradition! The children enjoyed seeing each other after school was out, they loved getting new books and making bookmarks was a huge hit! If you host a summer book swap. Please let me know how it goes!
