We had our December Kids' Book Club yesterday. We read Dicken's A Christmas Carol and performed a simplified readers' theater play for ourselves. I assigned parts and everyone came in costume. The kids did such a great job and they were really into it. We recorded it so they could watch themselves afterward. From top left: Taylor-Bob Crachit, Clark- Scrooge, Raven- Ghost of Christmas Present, David- Narrator, London- Marley, Josh- Fezziwig, Jacob- Fred, Bethany- Ghost of Christmas Past, Emily- Tiny Tim, Faith-herself, Rachel- young Scrooge, Grace- Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Kara- Mrs. Crachit, Elinor- Belle.
We enjoyed hot chocolate and candy canes and played a few rounds of "Yes and No" (like 20 questions) and answered some Christmas trivia questions.
I've been so happy with this group of kids for the book club. They have read or listened to all the books and been so willing to participate. I look forward to our next semester. The books we've picked are Anne of Green Gables, King of the Wind, Carry on, Mr. Bowditch, Caddie Woodlawn, and Treasure Island.

We did a similar thing! We read The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! and I had the kids do skits. They had a great time with it.
This sounds like so much fun!
Looks like a great time!! I've gotten out of the habit of reading to the kids at night before bed since we've moved. You inspired me. I'm going to try tonight.
