In 2007, I held a really successful party following a series of programs in which I read "How to Eat Fried Worms" to a group of 1st-5th graders. As I recall, the movie had recently been released and some promotional materials like bookmarks and activities arrived on my desk. I planned to show the movie, but I wanted to read the book to the kids first. And then, of course, we needed a party.
 | "Because of a bet, Billy is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. A hilarious story that will revolt and delight bumptious, unreachable intermediate-grade boys and any other less particular mortals that read or listen to it.... Colorful, original writing in a much-needed comic vein."--Booklist. |
Also, this was held around Earth Day and I thought that I could probably combine some ideas about how to celebrate that with this book. What better way than to make a worm farm? I'll admit, these took some preparation to prepare since I was trying to minimize the dirt mess that I envisioned if the kids were to build these themselves. But if you are outside, then of course, they could do it themselves. But we were indoors, so I had the farms ready to welcome their new worm inhabitants. The kids chose their own worms.
