Yesterday I played a fun game with my students to help them learn where different sections of the library are.
This is what I did.
1. Discuss "real mail" and what is written on the front of it: (name and addresses) Show them some real letters and mail that you have received.
2. Hand out envelopes you have made with the name of a book and it's library call number on the front (address), such as 811 SIL, E HEN, FIC RIO, or REF 973, ETC......... books.
3. Use books from all sections of the library in order to teach all areas, such as REFerence, SPAnish, series, FIC chapter books, Biography, Everybody books (picture books), Easy Reader books, Caldecott and Newberry winners.
4. Put a clue into the envelope, such as (It's a Poetry Book or a Caldecott winner or a map of the library with an X on the spot where it is located).
5. Have students find and pull the book and show a friend. The friend then has to trade books with the partner and each student has to re-shelf the book they end up with.
6. Have the student use his shelf stick to save the place of where he/she found the "treasure-book".
7. For a spin on it, only assign books about PIRATE things, like E SHA for "How I Became a Pirate" and REF 973 with a book mark in a page about pirate ships, non-fiction books about Pirates and a FIC chapter book from the Magic Treehouse Series about Pirates.
8. I JUST MAY DO THIS A FEW WEEKS IN A ROW IN ORDER TO HELP STUDENTS "LEARN THE LIBRARY"
