MERIT POINTS
Rules and Opportunities 2014

Merit Points will be awarded based on papers YOU turn in.

READING LOG – 5 pts for each test tube/25 pts max – Pick up a Reading Log, color in bubbles for each day you have read. It counts the same if you are reading or someone reads to you. You can read LIBRARY books/ebooks/magazines/audio books, or books/ebooks/magazines/audio books from anywhere else. eBooks can be found at http://ohioebooks.org/kids (and there are no late fees). I would say a reading day is a day you have read 20 minutes or more. You decide based on YOUR child’s ability to sit still and reading skill if this is a good earmark at YOUR house.

CHECK OUT LIBRARY BOOKS – 25 pts/book return – Put your name, and phone number and age group (child, teen, or adult) on the back of your check out slip and turn it in for points. If you check out more than 10 books, you will get double the points.

COUPON GAME – 5 pts/week – There is a different question to be answered in the children’s room each week. If you participate, whether your answer is right or wrong, you will get 5 points and be entered into a drawing for candy. Winners are drawn at the Wednesday programs.

INCENTIVE GAME – 50 pts/summer – Complete 8 of the activities on the sheet (you can pick these up at the library). You must color in the activities you did, put your name and phone number on the paper, have an adult initial/sign your paper, put it in the box at the library. You will only get points for this 1 time.
