110 Reading: The Sport of Champions!
Bulletin Board
Reading is Cool!
Cover the bulletin board with green paper to represent a soccer field. Add details, such as the
two goalie boxes and white lines. Include a soccer ball and two soccer players from opposing
teams. If your soccer players are large enough, write a reading message on their jerseys, such as
“Reading is Cool.” If the bulletin board is near a shelf or table, display books about soccer.
Nametag
Baseball!
Reproduce the baseball pattern provided at the end of this chapter, or cut out circles and draw
lines to represent a baseball. Provide one for each child, adding his or her name to the tag.
Refreshments
Make baseball cookies. Bake sugar cookies using your favorite recipe or a mix. Frost the
cookies with white icing, adding red icing to make red threading. Decorating icing is available
in tubes at many supermarkets.
