When you answer the generic questions in The Book Club Game you will build solid comprehension, retention, and critical thinking because of how they focus on details, connect to your life and draw inspiration.

 These questions guide players to take away “specific-to-them” inspiration actions, magical indeed, on their to-go book lists. Take a look at how Annie, Ben, Ruthie and Al, from the game, answered these fun swirl and inspiration questions.  You can find The Whingdingdilly, a page turner for all ages, online or at your local library. I bet you can come up  with some new answers for this story or try them with any story you’re reading. Have fun and happy reading!
