How to Do a Book Club for Kids

Not sure where to begin? I’m here to help! There are several different ways to go about starting your book club:

Option 1. Pick a book with your child(ren) and invite a few friends to join for a one time book club hangout. In this scenario, it may be easiest if you decide to handle the logistics, run the discussion, and plan the activities (using the guide of course, which makes it a snap!) This is a great option if you want to test the waters of having a book club, or are just looking for something fun to do once or on occasion with a group of friends (or even if you’d like to get to know some new friends or neighbors better!)

Option 2. Gather some friends and make a plan together. Pick a book that appeals from the Book Club Guide options and pick your date for when to meet to discuss the book. You can divide and conquer whatever you decide you'd like to do from the guide. You can also decide if you'd like to do it once or meet monthly. 

The first step- deciding to do it- is the hardest! So here's your encouragement to just DO IT- you are going to have a BLAST and Cozy Kids Book Club will simplify the whole process so, so much. Included in your guide will be even more information on how to help the whole thing go smoothly and simply.

Finally, here's an easy text template in case you're not sure what to say.             

"Hi, _______. (Enter child's name here) and I have been thinking it would be really fun to host a book club hangout! We are planning on doing (name of book) and would love it if you and (other child's name) would read it with us and meet us in a month (can figure out date after they say yes) for a discussion and super fun activites. Would you like to join?"

I absolutely cannot WAIT to see pictures of your book club hangouts and am cheering you on!!!
