Kids Book Club: The Worst Witch

At the heart of our family, there’s a shared passion that brings us closer together: reading. We believe that reading is not just a pastime but a wonderful way to bond as a family. To add an extra layer of excitement, we’ve made it a tradition to host book clubs with the cousins, creating unforgettable literary experiences for everyone involved. And now, we’re thrilled to offer you the opportunity to replicate these book clubs with ease.

Book clubs are a great way to not only enjoy literature but also promote literacy. They allow readers to fully immerse themselves in the stories and engage in meaningful discussions. Our hope is to make the magic of reading accessible to all, so we’ve put together a comprehensive package to guide you through the process.

This October, we’ve chosen “The Worst Witch” by Jill Murphy as our featured book. It’s a delightful, quick read that perfectly captures the magic of the season.

“The Worst Witch” by Jill Murphy is a charming story that follows the misadventures of a young witch named Mildred Hubble. Mildred is a well-meaning but accident-prone student at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches. Even among her best efforts, she often finds herself in magical mishaps. The story revolves around Mildred’s struggles to fit in, her unlikely friendships, and her dedication to become a capable witch. It’s a tale of friendship, self-discovery, and embracing one’s uniqueness within the whimsical world of witchcraft.

Whether you’re planning a gathering for cousins, friends, Activity Days, Girl Scouts, or even a classroom setting; our book club outline has you covered.

To make this book club truly magical, we’ve brewed up something extraordinary for you – “Magical Mixology: A Kid’s Potionology.” It’s a spellbinding collection of experiments, treats, and crafts designed to keep the Halloween spirit alive throughout the entire season.

Inside this mystical collection, you’ll discover 12 captivating activities to enjoy with your kids during the season. What’s even more delightful is that many of these activities align perfectly with “The Worst Witch,” adding an immersive layer to your book club experience. Here are some of the activities we recommend, each with a little twist to fully capture the essence of the book:

Shadow Felines: Provide all your book club attendees with identical black socks – except for one. (Give them a different sock.) This will add an element of intrigue and charm to your gathering as well as bring up a wonderful discussion where readers will connect their own feelings with the characters in the book.

Froth & Fable Elixir: Channel your inner Mildred by concocting potions just like the young witch herself. Whether you choose a mystical green or a whimsical pink, these elixirs are sure to add a dash of magic to your event.

Bewitched Faces: Crafting bewitched faces will take some time to dry. Let your attendees unleash their creativity by carving out witchy faces. Send home the pieces to decorate when the faces have dried! These will create memorable keepsakes.

With “Magical Mixology: A Kid’s Potionology,” your book club will be infused with even more enchantment, making your journey into “The Worst Witch” an unforgettable adventure. Embrace the magic and let your imaginations run wild as you embark on this spellbinding literary and creative experience together.
