Ninjas at Night

For warm-up, the children colored and cut out pictures of a Club Penguin ninja. Then I stapled the pictures together to make a ninja flip book. When they flipped through the pages really fast, it looked like the ninja was actually moving. I found the craft online at http://community.clubpenguin.com/funactivities/arts-and-crafts/ninja-flip-book.htm.

I summarized the fifth book, Ninjas at Night, and asked the children a variety of questions about the book.

When we arrived at the part in the book where the tree house spun, each child received a Dizzy Pill (which is actually a tootsie roll) to help make them less dizzy. After eating their Dizzy Pills, the children were instructed to spin around three times, as if they were in the spinning tree house.

When we got to the part in the book where Jack wrote in his notebook, I showed the notebook I made that has all of Jack's notes in it.

Then, we played BINGO using the word NINJA. For example, instead of calling G47, we would call J47. The kids really enjoyed the game because we kept playing until everyone was a winner! As you can see from the pictures below, we used Cheerios as markers.

At the end, when Jack and Annie found the first of the four things needed to free Morgan from the spell, we used multi-colored chalk to decorate rocks to make our own moonstones.
