What freebies/goodies have you and/or your kids received from summer reading programs?


-Oldest got a free book from Barnes and Noble.
-From the library they both have received free children's meals at Chili's, Carlos 'O Kellys, and Texas Roadhouse; coupons for free ice cream; coupon for free admission to Play Station; free admission to the Children's Museum; free bowling passes, and bug kits (cute little things to hold lightning bugs in).
They have so far each earned 8 chances to win an American Girl doll.
-I got $20 gift card to Half Price Books and a coupon for Cost Cutters.
-At Half Price Books my oldest has earned 3 $3.00 gift cards.

Free ice cream cone from DQ
Free taco from Taco John's
Free cookie from Hardee's
Free Icee from Common Cents
Free admission to our local Rec center.

Plus in their goodie bags they get every week they have got free pencils, erasers, little stuffed bugs (Catch the reading bug is the theme), note pads, bug catchers, stickers, and keychains. That is all I can think of right now. The library is also sponsoring a puppet/magic show that we will go to for free.

Mine have already collected all the possible prizes. I guess we don't have as many as you guys do (small town!) They got certificate for pizza slice, beach ball, book and free kids meal at a local restaurant. My dd will be entered into a drawing for a laptop (teen program)

The kids are still in the summer reading program. I don't think it ends until the end of August here. So far, they've gotten some little Matchbox cars, stickers, etc. I think when it's all done, they'll each get a book and some coupons for free things in our town.

We have the bug theme to but I just found out today that they include the little kids so DS will be signed up tomorrow. Not sure what he will get yet. I know that I signed up today and can get a tote bag - figure it will turn into my library bag - their theme for adults is green. I wish I had stopped to look at the table a month ago as I would have already gotten my tote and my DS would have already gotten his prize as well. They also have a weekly drawing for some bug prize for the kids - DS is totally into bugs so we will have to check it out. I think they get a pass to the zoo as well - so that will be nice - I can get one person in with my pass but with this DH will also be able to go. I wish they had a free ice cream for kids - DS loves ice cream.

My daughter is in the one at our library and barnes and noble have not gotten free book yet from barnes and noble will next week. As for the library she is almost done with her chart.

Ours mainly gives vouchers for free meals and or ice cream from local resturaunts- my youngest recieved a free kids meal from Applebee's. For every 5 books you read you are able to get a chance in a drawing for a webkin package (which my youngest is not really into anymore!).
