Twilight @ the Library

Teens created sparkling lotion, vampire treats, Kristen Stewart-type bracelets, group poems & more. They played Twilight Pictionary & Survive Jeopardy & Feel Like a Millionaire. They read minds with Zenner Cards & went on a Twilight by Dewey Scavenger Hunt. Check out some of the pictures:

Guess the famous scene!

How about this one?

Check out some of the poems, too. These are Cinquains, poems that follow certain rules for number of words, syllables, and lines--they are easy & fun.
