I have run this several times with groups, and it is a huge amount of fun. If a team “locks in” after the second clue is given and is correct, they get nine points, and so on, until a very obvious clue is given as the last clue, wherein a team would only get one point if they locked in after the tenth clue. The catch is that they have to wait till the game is over to find out if they got it right or not, but if they did get it right, they win 10 points. However, if a group is very confident that the first clue has given them the answer, they can “lock in” and hand you the answer on a slip of paper. You give the groups ten clues the first clue should be very vague and nearly impossible to connect to mummies. Pick a scary creature or novel, let’s say a mummy, for a quick example. Here’s how it works: put your teens into small groups, or they can do this solo if you don’t have many people. It’s a perfect Halloween game because you can create an amazing and fun quiz that focuses entirely on this holiday. It can be adapted to any age, group, or genre. If they can walk away from the space knowing they’ve had a fun time and forgotten their troubles for a few hours, then I feel I’ve done my job.

Take up residence in a foreign country through literature. Read all of the unread books on your shelf. Start with your favorite title and read every novel written by that author. Read a book on the same topic from each of the following genres: Fiction, Nonfiction, Memoirs. There are many ways you can do this, but as a school librarian, I’m very lucky because I have a built-in audience that I can introduce new and fun activities to on a daily basis.
