Bring Reading to Life

Start with a popular series and act out events in the books. Kids enjoy what they read when they relate to characters and what the characters experience. What better way to encourage reading than to recreate scenes from a series and enable students to play roles and share with their friends. The following images and handouts are from my Harry Potter Club. Student witches and wizards were sorted into houses, made wizard trading cards, went through flight training (ground school), created their own Marauder's Maps with disappearing ink, and celebrated Halloween and Nearly Headless Nick's Death Day with a feast!
