Only about 5 kids showed up, but the girls still had a great time. They started off with a game of trivia questions, and my kids were put to shame by the others. Poor Allison only scored 0 points, which shocked me because she is a HUGE Hunger Games fan! Then again, the other kids were raising their hands before the questions were finished, and she wasn't catching on that you could do that, hehe.
It was followed by a Cornucopia Challenge where the kids had to race (walking) to the center to grab survival items.
A story was read, and if you had they key word items you either gained points or lost them depending on the item. Finally, Allison got on the board, scoring 30 total points. She was still the big loser in the game though, so we told her she had to be Rue, not Katniss. She wasn't amused.
They finished up the challenge with a snack. You were supposed to make a campfire with pretzel sticks, carrots, Doritos, and fire ball candies.

| I don't think it looks like much of a campfire, but whatever's clever, right? |
They also got a parting gift for participating. An orange drawstring backpack.
All in all, the girls really enjoyed this event much more than the Harry Potter event they had a few weeks ago.
Did you see Catching Fire this weekend?
I didn't see it, but I do plan to get there. I really enjoyed the first one. Love how you teased your daughter!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any interest in the Hunger Games, so I won't be seeing it, well, ever LOL, but this is an awesome event and I love that your library does such cool things!
ReplyDeleteGlad it was enjoyed
ReplyDeleteYour library seems to have a lot of things going on. Ours has NOTHING!! I guess we are lucky ours has books.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was more fun that the other event. :) Libraries are awesome for putting in the effort to provide free,fun things for the kiddos!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't see the movie, I tried to go see 'Frozen' though and they told me it wasn't out yet, hahahaha (I looked online, but I looked by movie name, not noticing the date was in the future...duh). ;)
Ahahaha Rosey! That's something I would do myself! I am forever being corrected about the right dates and times from my family!
DeleteSounds like a fun event, and beat out the other too, what your library can do
ReplyDeletewow, we never ever have stuff like this here. I loved the first part of the movie but I hear part 2 is not as good.
ReplyDeleteYour girls are so pretty--take after you for sure.
Awww, thanks Z! I do hope the second one is good! My daughter didn't like that book as much as the first though, so we'll see!
DeleteI think the idea of the Pretzel and Doritos was genius! Whoever would 've thought you can do that! and Kudos to you and your girls for having such a active and wonderful time!
ReplyDeletesounds fun
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun event! That's great they wanted to be a part of it. I like the fire! I could tell it was one.
ReplyDeletelooks like a fun event
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome that your library held that!! How fun!!
ReplyDeleteAlright! Interesting, really fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun Theresa!
ReplyDeletecool event
ReplyDeleteI'm watching that movie tomorrow.
Oh your daughters are so fun! Where would they be without their AWESOME Mom? Man you are the best Theresa and you will get a grand payday some day. Yes, you will ! ♥
ReplyDeleteI DID!!! Wasn't too pleased with it though :P
ReplyDeleteI think the games organised were pretty great! Pity only 5 kids showed up.. reckon it would have been more fun if there were more haha
Ai @ Sakura Haruka
What a great library!! I am glad your girls had such a good time. They are always so smiley for pictures which is so nice to see!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun event. My husband and I went and saw both the movies together the day before Catching Fire was officially released. Elliott is still trying to convince me to take him to see it now, but he is going to have to wait a while.
ReplyDeleteWe actually haven't seen a movie together as a family for several weeks now, which is a little strange for us. Usually we go at least every other weekend it seems. If we have time this weekend, we will probably see Frozen, but since we are celebrating Christmas, among other things, I'm not sure we will have time.
