COVID-19 LOCKDOWN BOREDOM BUSTER!

ŌC ENGLISH BRINGS YOU: BOOK BINGO!

The Reward System - DIY!

Since we are all in lockdown, you and/or your whanau must come up with your own reward system for finishing:

• One book
• A line
• Bingo - the complete card!

So what kind of rewards can you give yourself? Discuss this with your bubble buddies! Maybe it could be that you get to choose tonight's movie or TV programme, the next board or card game, the route for your next Teddy Bear hunt, win device time or choose the menu for the next meal! See how creative you can be.

Who can play?

Students, whanau, teachers - anyone! Your whanau/bubble buddies are encouraged to participate.

Some of those categories are pretty random, Miss!

What can I say - that's what happens when you let your husband pick three of them...

What do we do?

You can read books from anywhere - library books or other books you have at home, or anything you can access online. If you have a printer at home you could print off the bingo card and stick it up on the fridge or in your room, or wherever. When you have read a book you can tick the category off.

Q: Are audiobooks okay? YES! Any of these can be listened to instead of read.

Where to find free books online:

• ŌC Library - ebook and audiobook loans
• KCDC Library - ebook and audiobook loans
• Project Gutenberg - free ebooks online
• Internet Archive - free content from libraries (mostly US)
• Librivox - free audiobooks online

There are many other places too which you can find if you google 'free ebooks online' or 'free audiobooks online'.

Recommendations/Suggestions

I have started a list of possible books to read under each category. I have made this list editable by anyone at ŌC, so you can go into the doc and add your own suggestions.

Questions or celebrations?
