Read-a-Thon Winter 2021: Individual Challenge

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

The event will begin when you wake up on Saturday, December 18. Info is posted now for planning purposes.

If team games aren’t your thing, or you’re just looking for some additional challenge for the week, this read-a-thon has some solo fun for you!

Object: Read a book that is somehow connected to each of the snow caps on the board. What you consider a "win" is up to you. If you want to take on a big challenge then go for a full card. If that's a bit much for you, then go for some of the other Bingo patterns: 4 down/across, 4 corners, postage stamp, etc. You can even choose a color and read a book for each cap of that color.

What about pages? Our typical "rule" is a book that is over 100 pages. That includes books that you started before the event - if there are at least 100 pages remaining at the start of the event then you can count it :)
