Bookworms is a wonderfully diverse group of independent freethinking girls and moms. For your first meeting, pick out a book together and send invitations asking everyone to read the book in advance. I suggest choosing a book that has been a favorite at your house. Try to give potential club members at least 30 days notice so they have ample time to read the book. Next, help your daughter select or make up discussion questions about the book.
Girls have wonderful ideas and opinions and are willing to share when asked.
Also plan a simple icebreaker activity or game. At our first mother-daughter book club meeting, we asked each girl to introduce her mother and tell something about her, and each mother to introduce her daughter. This straightforward activity led to some fascinating revelations and got us off to a rousing start. We like to serve something that was mentioned or described in the book. The most important thing about a mother-daughter book club is the sharing and discussion.
