Here’s how it works… Tokens are rewarded for books/minutes read: For really young kids, 1 book read to them = 1 token For young kids (1st & 2nd grade), 1 book picture book read = 1 token For older kids(3rd grade and up), 15 minutes = 1 token Your older kids will need a timer. There are several options: •You can purchase simple kitchen timers from the Dollar Store •Download an App - I recommend: Toddler Timeout App – free on Amazon. It’s a very simple timer. You can type in 15 minutes and when those minutes are up, a bell rings. •A stopwatch will be best for avid readers who won’t want to stop when a bell rings at 15 minutes. They can just turn the stopwatch on when they begin reading and off when they finish reading. •Let your child use a log (provided) to keep track of minutes read. Keeping up with tokens: You will need to print one of sheets so that your child can keep up with the number of tokens he has earned. For example, you can print the balloon sheet and for every 15 minutes read, your child takes a pencil and “pops” a balloon. He/she can turn in the sheet when s/he wants to redeem their tokens for prizes. Prizes: Included in this resource is a Token Redemption Sheet. It lists token values and prize suggestions. For example, 10 tokens can be redeemed for a prize from the Treasure Box (Dollar Tree items in a plastic box) and 50 tokens can be redeemed for a new book. The rule of thumb is 10 cent = 1 token. There is a place for you to add your own prize items specific to your child(ren)’s interests.

Summer Time Boredom Busters 10 fun and instant ideas that require little or no advance preparation
•Silly Band Exchange – stock exchange style
•Stuffed Animal Hide and Seek – You can use any stuffed animals…one person hides them all round the house and then the others look for them
•Water World – put large kitchen containers of water on the table or floor with water-proof tablecloth and have kids bring Barbie dolls, Pet Shops, or other small toys to come play at Water World
•Skating – either in the house if you have hard wood or tile floors or outside on the sidewalk or in the garage…set up a CD player with some lively music
•Legos – pull out all of the legos you own and just create, create, create
•Nerf Gun Knockdown – set empty water bottles on a box and see if you can knock them down by shooting them with a Nerf gun
•Bathtub Fun without the Bath – run a bathtub full of water, put on your bathing suit and add your favorite Barbie Dolls or boats for some fun playtime
•Slip and Slide homemade version – spread a large tarp outside on the grass; wet it down with water hose; add baby shampoo (or liquid dish detergent if you aren’t afraid it may sting little eyes); set a sprinkler nearby if you want a continuous shower of water •Tents – make tents using chairs, sheets, etc….add flashlights and books for a creative reading nook •Make boats – use household items such as egg cartons to make boats…get creative and decorate a paper flag with a drinking straw flag pole; fill the bathtub and see which ones are “sea worthy”
Summer Boredom Busters Theme days… Each week on a designated day (for us it’s Wednesday), plan a theme day. Here are suggestions:
JUNE Week 1 Cars - wash the cars and have water fun outside, cool off with popsicles, watch the Disney movie Cars, play with Hotwheels cars, built Derby cars and race them. (Down and Derby is a fun movie for older kids…it is on Netflix. There is one bad word right after he dreams, so turn volume down during that part.) Week 2 Ocean – water fun outside, take a trip to the city pool, watch Nemo, make blue Jello. Week 3 Farm – visit a farm, “pick your own fruit” type place, or the Farmer’s Market and try some new fruits/veggies, watch Charlotte’s Web, make homemade jam Week 4 Park Day – visit a local park with sidewalk chalk, scooters, bikes, etc., take a picnic lunch, watch Judy Moody and the Not Summer Bummer (Netflix)
