My All-Time, Tip-Top Favorite Book List
What books have grabbed your kids?
ADDED April 21, 2010
You have some darling kids in your house, right? And you're a devoted parent -- there's no doubt about that.
Well, we're certain that you've spent quite a bit of time reading with your young kids. In all probability, you and your young ones have read many, many books. And your kids naturally gravitate to some books more than others.
The activity here is simple. First, tell your kids, "Today we are going to make a list of your All-Time, Tip-Top Favorite Books. Help me make a list."
Making the list is very easy. Your kids should take a moment to reflect on their favorites. You might have suggestions for them, too.
Then, your children should go peruse the bookshelves in your house. Do they see any books they had forgotten to mention as favorites? You -- or they -- should write down each entry.
Once the list has been compiled, it's very easy to make it a bit more "multi-media" and visually appealing. If you've made your list in a word processing program such as Microsoft Word, you can head over to Amazon.com, look up the book in question, and copy its cover. Then simply paste that image into your list. (To copy an image from your browser, you usually just need to right-click or control-click on it. Email me at steve@todayisfun.com if you get really stuck and need some technical guidance!)
Your kids, too, could draw each book's cover -- or a memorable character from the book -- with crayons and markers.
How many books should your kids have on their lists when you're done? There's no real answer. Really, they should have all their favorites. Maybe this will be ten, maybe it will be thirty.
And while we want your kids to enjoy this activity, your young ones aren't the only ones who will benefit from it. When your kids are grown, you can look back on this list and reminisce about the time spent reading their all-time favorite books.
(If you were required to make a list of your all-time, tip-top favorite websites, we hope that Today Is Fun might receive a mention! Thanks for visiting -- and enjoy this activity with your kids!)
