Author Visit Story Time
Story Time Information
Welcome to my Author Visit Story Time, a fun and interactive event. I offer a one hour live story time ($200) or a 1/2 hour virtual story time ($100) - each featuring a reading of my book Little Ant & the Epic Battle followed by educational games and activities. Parents can purchase a signed copy of my book afterwards. Live events differ slightly, please see info below. If you are interested in scheduling an Author Visit Story Time, please contact me here.
Class Visit Info - Live Event:
My Class Visit Story Time is roughly an hour long, and works best for children ages 4-6. Also, the ideal group would be a maximum of 30 children. About 2 weeks before the reading, I would drop off pre-order book forms and ask to see the room. I would also ask that you hold onto whatever orders come in. About a week later, I would collect those orders. On the day of the reading, I'd come in early to set up some games. This may require the use of Fun-Tak on the wall. I would then read my new book and play a bunch of Little Ant games with the children. I would hand over the pre-ordered books to the teacher, as well as a coloring page for the class to enjoy.
Library Visit Info - Live Event:
My Library Visit Story Time is similar to the above. It is roughly an hour long. On the day of the reading, I would come in early to set up some games. This may require the use of Fun-Tak on the wall. I would then read my new book and play a bunch of Little Ant games with the children. After my reading, the parents would have a chance to purchase a signed copy of any one of my Little Ant books, while the children work on their coloring pages.
A Few Story Time Games:
- I-spy/Scavenger Hunt: Students are invited to find little ants and other fun objects in a paper garden.
- Howie Are You Feeling: This game teaches children how to listen to their bodies and make healthy choices in order to feel good.
- Act Like the Little Ant: This is a crowd favorite. Students have a chance to get up and move their bodies like they have ants in their pants!
