I have decided to post all of my plans for the kick-off party that was scheduled for May 30. Since the libray remains closed, it isn't going to happen. I hope some of you will use the ideas. If you do any of these, I would appreciate it if you let me know. The Collaborative Summer Library Program slogan this year is "Imagine Your Story." The theme is fairy tales, fantasy, and mythology.
Display:
This PowerPoint would have been displayed on the wall for people to guess which fairy tale each phrase comes from. https://www.slideshare.net/librariandiva2/fractured-fairy-tales-8868243
If your child can't read yet, just say the phrase, and ask them what fairy tale it comes from.
Handout:
I was planning to provide the first page of this file that says "Fairy Tale" as a handout. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/FreeDownload/Fairy-Tale-Elements-and-Writing-Activities-237652
It might be helpfult to use it to teach your child about what makes a fairy tale a fairy tale.

My Example
5. Billy Goats Gruff STEAM Building Challenge
For this activity, I combined resources from two sources.
Source of paper goats: https://alittlepinchofperfect.com/the-three-billy-goats-gruff-steam-bridge-building-activity-for-kids/
Source of idea for materials: https://www.commonsense.org/education/lesson-plans/the-three-billy-goats-stem-challenge
Steps:
1. Read this fairy tale to your child.
2. Go to https://alittlepinchofperfect.com/the-three-billy-goats-gruff-steam-bridge-building-activity-for-kids/ to download the goat template.
2. Tape each goat to a Lego block stack that matches its size.
3. Put out the materials shown.
4. Let your child decide how he/she would like to make a bridge using these materials.
5. Once the bridge is completed, see if it can support the weight of each of the goats.

There are two ways to do this mad lib activity with your children:
1. Read the story to your children, and point to them whenever they should fill in a blank. Then write what they said in the blank. Read the story to them out loud when finished.
2. Ask your children to come up with the words first. In two of the sources above, a sheet is provided for this. Then they use their responses to fill in the blanks. When they finish, have them read their story out loud.
