Pokemon Club Suggestions
Happy Wednesday! If your library hosts a pokemon club, I would love to hear what activities you have for your club! Our library currently has it set up as a self-run club, where kids can bring any pokemon related stuff they have and hang out with fellow pokemon trainers. We also provide boxes of cards that kids can choose from to keep each time the club meets. I am looking for any suggestions on things to add to our club! What has worked for your library's pokemon club? Thanks, Taylor -- *Taylor Comeau* *Youth Services Coordinator* *Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library* *211 N.

For my Pokemon Club, I started doing a Type a month. I'd pick three Pokemon from that Type and we'd do crafts/activities based off those Pokemon. Every time the child complete a craft they get to "catch" that Pokemon (just a cut out image of it, laminated) and get an entry into their Pokedex (a red folder with card pockets). These entries are Pokemon cards I create based on the Pokemon I've chosen. I also give kids time to trade cards. My very first Pokemon club, not everyone was pleased with the crafts and activities part but I have received a "loyal following" and have been doing it for two years now and I love it.

We throw an occasional Pokemon Party, which always include throwing games (i.e. Can you catch a Lapras? featured throwing balls into buckets of water) and some kind of themed craft (ex: Make your own Pokeball). Of note are the printable activities available through the official website: https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/printable-activities Have fun!

For our club, I always lay out different printables from the official Pokemon website and allow kids to bring cards to play the trading card game or show to other kids. I also always plan an organized activity, and typically alternate between crafts and games each month. Favorite crafts have been Pikachu bead buddies, origami Pokemon, Ditto slime, Pokeball launchers and shrinky dink keychains. For games, my kids love playing these <https://pokemon-quizzes.vercel.app/Quiz/Zoom> (especially the zoom one), Pokemon Pictionary, scavenger hunts and bingo. I've been running my club for about a year and a half and it's always a blast!
