This year's edition of March Madness has been cancelled but here is a fun way to enjoy March Madness while exploring READING!
Here is a great way to turn reading into brackets in honor of March Madness. In theis reading bracket contest you will have a great time filling out the brackets with the kids and they will love trying to predict which book will win and debating over the winning book in each contest. Sometimes the winner was clear cut, but sometimes it wasn't!
While books was a great place to start for our family, the possibilities here are endless! You can try a bracket with movies, toy cars, candies, or anything else in which you can come up with 16 contenders!
Supplies needed:
- Bracket (Click here for your FREE printable bracket!)
