Okay, this is a game idea that I have. This is how it would work. I will give a list of books and authors. Person one will identify the book or author as Newbery Winning or not.

*Let me explain. If it's a book: tell me if it has won any kind of Newbery award. This means it can be a Medal Book or an Honor Book. Extra point if you can tell whether it was Medal or Honor. If it's an author: then tell me if this author has been honored with a Newbery. Once again, it can be either medal-winning or honorable mention. Extra point if you can name the book(s) that won the award for the author. Extra point if you tell whether the book the author wrote was a medal-winning book or honorable mention. If they had more than one award-winning book, you get an extra point for each one you mention. You can also get an extra point by telling how many award-winning books they've won. Yes, you can get more than one bonus point for each author. Tell me all you know.

*Don't cheat. Please. This is just for fun. If you remember a book from the list I have, that's great. Use that knowledge to your advantage. But please, don't worry about getting these wrong. Just have fun.

SCORING

-Telling whether it's Newbery or not earns you three points.

-Bonus points are added to your total.

-I will put a scoreboard in the "Scoreboards and Progress" folder.


NOTE: Please, please, please don't do more than three in a row. The whole reason I'm giving lists of books is so that I don't have to always be checking back in.

List number 1:

1)Jennifer L. Holm
2)Gathering Blue
3)Letters from Rifka
4)Ann Rinaldi
5)Lois Lowry
6)The Cage
7)The Promised Land

Here you go! Have fun guessing! If someone has already posted their guess, then please don't guess for the same book. I'll be updating the scoreboard as often as I can.
