Registration deadline: November 14, 2026

The Reading Games is a fun and free reading competition for students in grades 3-8. The mission of the Reading Games is to encourage reading, to expose kids to different genres, series, authors, and topics, as well as to foster teamwork and responsibility. Teams of 5-8 students, led by a parent volunteer, will prepare for a fun day of book trivia! Teams will read books and be asked questions from Book List 1 (3rd-4th grades) or Book List 2 (5th-8th grades).

Team Registration

Completing this team registration form reserves your spot as a team to compete at the Games. You do not need to identify the students that will be on your team for this registration, so there is time to finalize the team members. In December, you will be asked to provide more information about your team, including team name and volunteers. Each team should plan to have the following overall adult participation:

• 1 Team Contact – This person will be a contact point for the Reading Games committee over the next several months until the event, and would work with the team to coordinate practices and reading. (This person can fill one of the three volunteer roles on the day of the event, if they wish, but that’s not required.)
• 1 Adult Team Volunteer – This person will fill a role separate from the team on the day of the event, as a moderator, scorekeeper or other needed role. (This can be the Team Contact or another parent)
• 2 Adult Team Chaperones – These people will stay with the team on the day of the event to supervise the team. (The Team Contact can fill one of these roles, or both can be filled by other team parents. This is in addition to the separate Team Volunteer listed above and would not be the same person)

   

  Individual Registration

  If you have a child who would like to participate but does not have a team, you may request a spot using this individual registration form.
