-9:04 PM Aug 30th, 2012
elissacruz I've led a book club for MG boys...though that
was years ago and it was with a bunch of homeschoolers. #MGlitchat -9:04 PM Aug

kurtisscaletta Facilitating a kids book club is WAY more
work than a grown-up book club! MT @DanyelleLeafty Any Words of Wisdom?
#mglitchat -9:04 PM Aug 30th, 2012
KristineAsselin ooh, I'm in two book clubs. But I'm guessing
we're talking kids book clubs... :) #mglitchat -9:04 PM Aug 30th, 2012
misskubelik Last year I ran a homeschool book group for ages
8-12. We read and discussed Newbery winners. #mglitchat -9:05 PM Aug 30th, 2012
kurtisscaletta You need to have structure: questions,
activities. Ways to get the kids talking. And of course, snacks. #mglitchat
-9:05 PM Aug 30th, 2012
EmilyCaseysMuse @Bec_AS #mglitchat Oh, that sounds like so
much fun! My dd is just 4 so I'll have to wait a bit. -9:05 PM Aug 30th, 2012
Bec_AS I would love to hear how others go about picking
titles (adults vs kids doing it) and Q&A structure. :) #MGLitChat -9:05 PM
Aug 30th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @kurtisscaletta I'll bet! So much more to do.

etc. #mglitchat -9:05 PM Aug 30th, 2012

questions for each book. Every meeting concluded w/ themed food connected to
the book. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Aug 30th, 2012
SpencerToday @kurtisscaletta Thx for the tips Kurtis. Snacks
for me too?! :) #mglitchat -9:07 PM Aug 30th, 2012

#mglitchat -9:08 PM Aug 30th, 2012
michaelascotto @EmilyCaseysMuse If I were looking for rec's
for an MG book club, I'd try online communities like this, and indie
booksellers #mglitchat -9:08 PM Aug 30th, 2012

groups. #mglitchat -9:08 PM Aug 30th, 2012

of a thrill at finding an awesome lesser know book. I love searching the
shelves. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Aug 30th, 2012
Bec_AS Do you let the kids pick titles? (We haven't so far,
but some are itching to choose for the group) #MGLitChat -9:09 PM Aug 30th,

read Laurel Snyder & Kate Messner. Another mom ran activities related to
the books. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Aug 30th, 2012

most important. Had the most luck with Newbery-type books. #mglitchat -9:09 PM
