Fun TBR Harvest Gameboard
Fall Season
OCTOBER READATHON ANNOUNCEMENT
Explore the Pumpkin Patch: A Guide
Feel free to explore the pumpkin patch in your own way. You can start anywhere, and some prompts may present a choice between two options. For example, you might encounter spaces that are described as hot or cold, which you can interpret in your own unique manner. You can choose to drink a physical beverage, or if a book cover features warm or cool colors, or if the title includes the words "warm" or "cold," you can use that too.
In the right-hand corner, you'll find a key that allows you to add more challenges to the pumpkin patch, giving you the power to customize your experience.
Another feature of this exploration is the opportunity to capture cats or ghosts. To find ghost-related prompts, look for "B-O-O" in the title or author's name. For cat-related prompts, check for "C-A-T" in the title or author's name.
The main goal is to have fun with your book selections and fully embrace the Fall-inspired theme. Let the spirit of the season infuse your daily life as you enjoy this activity!
