I know the library isn't a place where you normally think about math. I'm not terribly fond of numbers...that's why I work with books! Anyway, I have another fun "guesstimation" game here in the children's room.
If you guess the amount of kisses in the jar, you can win a free book! Yay! Stop by and place your guess in the box on the display.
This is such an easy "passive" library program to do. Supplies: scrap paper, jar, pencils, stuff to count into the jar, flyer explaining the contest, something to put the guesses in. Done! After I did the initial supply gathering, I have simply changed the item in the jar and the flyer month to month.
What kinds of passive library programs do you have, Libraryland?
I'm Miss Michelle the Early Literacy Specialist at Mooresville Public Library, in Mooresville, Indiana. I'm here to blog about all the exciting stuff that I do in early literacy story times! If you are a parent, librarian, educator, or generally awesome person, please feel free to leave questions or comments.
