We love to throw parties! Hosting kid book clubs is a favorite excuse for throwing a party. We love the creation and thought that goes into the planning as we read each book with our kids.
Reading is such an important thing in each of our families. We love to encourage our kids to become readers. We also love to read as a family. Being able to enjoy a book together is so special. The adventures we go on and the places we imagine together create timeless memories that we hope will live on forever!
Kid Book Club Beginnings
This all started many years back when we wanted to throw a party and decided to read “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” with our kids. Our kids, young and old, loved the story and we loved the time that we spent together reading the book. The party was a blast! We couldn’t wait to do it again.
That’s how our book clubs were born! With the next book club, we added a little more educational value but kept the fun. Using our creativity to think up wonderful activities to go with each book is such a joy. We are always looking for new books and adventures to go on as a family.
Why host a children’s book club?
Reading with your kids can be such a joy! The more we understand the stories, the more fun reading becomes. That's why book clubs are so great—they make reading exciting and help us really connect with the books.
We put together bundles to help you get the most out of your reading! Inside each bundle, you'll find things such as a book club guide, discussion questions, invitations for your book club, and fun activities to go along with each book.
You can use these kid book clubs for all sorts of occasions. The activities are flexible, making reading enjoyable in different scenarios. Just plan a simple activity, and you’ve got a fun activity ready to go!
Picture Books
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
A classic story loved by all ages that our family cherishes! We really enjoyed planning this book club. It made for the perfect Christmas kick-off. We dressed like Who’s, had a feast, and set out on a quest to show the Grinch how much fun Christmas is!
Bartholomew and the Oobleck
A fun story with an important message, this book club is super simple. With discussions about responsibility and humility, there is also a quick activity of making Oobleck. It makes this book club a sensory delight!
Over and Under the Snow
A magical book full of wonder and beautiful illustrations. We love this series! This book club was all about exploring the winter world. We love how this book gave us ideas of what to look for on our outing and what to imagine is underneath the snow.
Over and Under the Canyon
Another part of this book series, “Over and Under the Canyon,” added educational value and excitement to our family vacation. The vibrant illustrations and exploration of desert animals encouraged us to look for the unexpected all week. If you love nature, this book club is for you!
Chapter Books
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
You know the story and love the magic! With this book club, we brought the chocolate world of Willy Wonka to life. As we spent time reading this book to our families, it quickly became a favorite for our kids. This book club was full of sweets, as we compared the book and movie.
The Borrowers
We loved this movie as kids. What better way to introduce our kids to the Borrowers than to read the book? This book club provided us the opportunity to broaden our kids' vocabularies all while we fueled their imagination. The activities we created for this book club are so fun! Our kids ask us to do these activities again and again.
The Hundred Dresses
A wonderful book about kindness and understanding, the story became a classic for our girls. We did a special book club just for them with this book. This book club is perfect for opening a conversation with your kids about kindness. When we finished the book we created our own dresses and had a tea party.
The Worst Witch
This book club was created to add some extra magic to our season. We opted to enjoy a quicker read that is perfect for those kids who are just beginning chapter books. We created something amazing to tie into your Halloween season that goes with a book club. Check out our post to see all of the ideas for food, crafts, and potions!
The Wizard of Oz
A classic story of courage and friendship, "The Wizard of Oz" has become a favorite for our kids. We held a book club that sparked conversations about bravery and teamwork.
