2HOST A POLAR EXPRESSPAJAMA READING!BEFORE THE EVENT:AFTER THE READING:Download a copy of the invitation flyer, reminding childrento come wearing their pajamas.(Whoever is reading the book might also want to wear theirpajamas.)For older children, you might want to follow the readingwith a discussion of the book. (There is a list called “GuidingQuestions for a Polar Express Book Conversation” within thePolar Express Teacher’s Guide. Visit the Teacher/Librarianpage on www.polarexpress.com for teacher’s guides. )Set up chairs in two rows like the seats of a train, and printout Polar Express train tickets.Find a bell similar to the boy’s bell in The Polar Express.If you are hosting young children, print out and copy coloring & activity sheets and Polar Express bookmarks(click on Fun & Games on www.polarexpress.com to findthese). Download Polar Express Reading Logs & StationeryThink about refreshments (there are recipes for hot cocoa &chocolate bars in the Fun & Games section).Let the fun begin!Create train tickets. Invite the children to take a seat on thePolar Express and hand them their ticket. Just before thereading, you or a designated conductor can collect the tickets.Dim the lights and call out “All Aboard the Polar Express,”before you start the reading, inviting young readers into themagic of the story in an accessible, tangible way.When the boy in the story receives the bell, take out yourbell and show the students. When you read that only thosewho truly believe can hear the bell, ring the bell for the children and ask if they can hear it!Serve refreshments––hot cocoa “as thick and rich as meltedchocolate bars” and candy with nougat centers “as white assnow” will be a big hit! You could also give out cookies inthe shape of trains. (Train-shaped cookie cutters are readilyavailable.)Ask the children if they have a possession that holds as muchmeaning for them as the boy’s bell holds for him. Follow theread-aloud and book conversation with a share circle. Discusshow it is not just the objects themselves that we love, but itis the people and ideas that they represent or remind us of.Invite the children to write about their special objects andwhat those objects represent. Give them Polar ExpressStationery to write on.Younger children may prefer to do an arts-and-crafts activity.Look in Fun and Games for the instructions: “How to Makea Reindeer.” The materials for this craft are inexpensive andeasily attainable.The Polar Express Pajama Reading can be a great kickoff for aPolar Express Reading Celebration. Give each child a ReadingLog to take home; they can advance on the track by readingor being read to for twenty minutes each night.You might want to provide a goodie bag for children. Thiscould include Polar Express bookmarks and coloring pages.You could also provide a bell for each child and a packet ofhot chocolate.May the bell still ring “for all who truly believe.”Visit the Polar Express site (www.polarexpress.com)and click on Fun and Games for more great ideas andmaterials.Houghton Mifflin Company Boston, MA www.polarexpress.com
