This is your club and we want you all to join in and there are lots of ways to do this...
- Bring in your favorite stories for us to read out.
- Bring in an object for the storytellin bag - we can make up an 'on the spot' story!
- Write or draw your own story for us to read out - please ask for a 'once upon a time' sheet.
- Ask for a Bookworm card... visit the club, collect 6 stamps and get your 7th visit for free!
- Request your favourite songs.
- Help us decide what our next session will have in it by suggesting your favourite things.
- Perhaps you could dress up as your favorite book character?
