Be sure to familiarize yourself with your book or reading. Be animated and make your part memorable for the kids! Adding in your own comments during story time is okay!
Depending on the number of children that attend the program, we might need you to stick around and help facilitate a small group (4-5 children).

After ALL the readings are completed for each age group the children will be organized into small groups of 4-5 children in each group. One or two facilitators (depending on the number of volunteers) will facilitate a discussion guided by the discussion questions that will be provided for you the day of the event. The Questions can also be found ahead of time located on this padlet. Facilitators should be familiar with the book so that they may better understand how to guide their questions.

How to use the Discussion Questions:
1. Use as a guiding document, you don't have to ask all the questions. These are for guidance and to allow for conversation to begin.
2. Allow for conversation to flow even if all the questions do not get covered.
3. There are no right or wrong answers. What the child answers is their reality/thought at the moment and that is OK ( a copy of the discussion questions will be available for the caregivers as well if they want them)
4. If you sense your group is not understanding the questions, feel free to paraphrase and ask in a different way
