BISEXUALS GROW FROM THE GROUND

It's best to make it so that the kids are keeping track of reading hours rather than books read, as this way it evens the playing field for everyone. If you use books read, kids who read longer books will either have a disadvantage or will only read short books and not challenge themselves.

I think it's part of why my program was so successful. It went from the usual 5-15 kids to over 80 kids actively participating (my supervisor even raised my budget to account for the unprecedented amount of participation!).

Some of the other rules included that for every X number of hours read (I don't recall the exact amount) meant they'd get a "ticket" put into the draw for the grand prizes at the end of the summer, so the more you read, the better your chances of winning. And each activity you participated in from the summer programming also counted for a "ticket".

You also were guaranteed to get to pick a little prize for every X hours read, so even if you didn't win one of the grand prizes, you weren't left empty-handed and feeling like you put in all the work for nothing.

I made it so that the grand prizes were slightly cheaper than they had been in the past (mine were around $30 each) so that we could have more grand prizes (I had 4). Part of the reason for having more grand prizes was that, this way, I could better cater to different interests.

My 4 grand prizes were:

A marble run set

A scratch art kit

A 3D printing pen

Somebody ate a hole in the flour.
