Missions
Our librarians have put together several activities, for a variety of challenges and levels. Complete an activity and you might unlock a more advanced one, and bragging rights, cool badges and maybe even a prize!

Alphabet Walk
Go for a walk and look for letters of the alphabet all around you! For example, two branches on the ground might form the letter T. The goal is to find the letters without having to move items around to create the letter. Take a picture of each letter and upload below.

Random Acts of Kindness

Small gestures make the most difference on a daily basis. It's easy to get so preoccupied with our own lives that we forget about others, but with just one simple act of kindness, we can change the way someone else's day goes, and we can better ourselves and the world in the process. This challenge is designed for you to take the time to do something for someone else — and hopefully they will pay it forward to the next person!

Vocabulary jar
Vocabulary jar: write different words on piece of paper. Put the papers in a jar. Every day, pick one word out of the jar and see how many times you can use it in that day. The words should be unfamiliar, but simple enough that you can understand their meaning and develop them into your own vocabulary.  For extra fun chose some super silly words and use them all day long!
