May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor with Hunger Games Programming

With the release of the newest Hunger Games book, Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins, the dystopian series is back in the spotlight (thought it never really left it) and it's a great time to host a Hunger Games program for teens! 

Cindy Shutts has you covered in her recent post on the Teen Librarian Toolbox. Compiling programs and activities across a couple libraries, she writes, "This series of programs was a success and I hope we can do more programming like this in the future. Teens seemed to be excited about the programs and overall was very well received! It made it easier to advertise and get kids excited to come."

The post details crafts like a mockingjay paint along and Hunger Games pendants as well as other activities like trivia and survival knot tying.
