FACE OFF:
Test your knowledge of Mother Goose by rhyming against the competition.  This works like a Spelling Bee--when you’re out of rhymes, you’re out of the contest.

The last rhymer standing wins! 

PERFORMANCE:
Here’s your chance to slam!  Put your own spin on Mother Goose by performing your Mother Goose rhyme in parody, with puppets, as a dramatic recitation, accompanied by song, or dance interpretation.

Contestants will be judged on creativity, originality, and overall presentation. 

MOTHER GOOSE TRIVIA COMPETITION:
Be the first to correctly answer a question about a Mother Goose rhyme and win a prize. 

Make puppets! Win prizes! Meet faculty, staff & area educators! Refreshments for All!

Flashdrives, Subscriptions to Black, White and Read All Over: Children’s Lecture Series, Puppets, T-Shirts, The annotated Mother Goose—First edition, Barnes & Noble certificates and a few Surprises!
