TPiB: Collaborative Summer Reading Program Movie Ideas
If you’re in one of the states that is participating in the Collaborative Summer Reading Program like I am, you are already thinking of ways to bring creative (and cheap) programming into your rotation. The manual has some wonderful ideas, and if you’re on pinterest there are TONS of boards. I’m always scouring for movie ideas: we have the movie license so that’s paid for, the movies can either be rolled into the summer reading budget or into my materials order so I have the movie, and if I add in a craft and a few tables for my gamers, my teens are set!

Hunger Games
Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist
Mystery Men
I Am Legend
Beautiful Creatures
Pitch Perfect
