Book Tailgate {A Book Tasting with a Sports Theme}

Get your students excited to discover new books with a book tailgate! 

A book tailgate is a new twist on the book tasting! This is a book tasting with a sports theme! 

You can even add props to your tailgate to add extra fun for your students! 

Place books in coolers, set up grills {no fire} around the room, roll out a green carpet of fake turf, and add college fight songs! Voila, a book tailgate that is sure to get your kids ready to set their own game plans for reading!

Head over to my TPT for everything you need to create your own book tailgate!

Here is what is included:

-Book Tailgate Invitations

-Book Tailgate Game Day Poster

-Tailgate Labels {Numbers 1-6}

-Genre Labels {nonfiction, fiction, realistic fiction, historical fiction, mystery, fantasy, biography, science fiction, traditional literature, graphic novels, horror, poetry, autobiography, animal novels} Don't see a genre you need... email me and I can add it!

-Tailgate Menu {Students will use the menu when "tasting" their books. They will read a few pages and/or the summary. Then, they will write what they think about the book and if they would like to continue to read the book.}

-My Game Plan {Students will record titles and authors of books they would like to read. This will serve as their "Reading Game Plan" and next steps/goals.}

Happy tailgating!
