We selected in this post several suggestions for Book Day Dynamics and Games, to work with early graders in the classroom. O book Day, is celebrated annually on three different dates in April, check out:
And it was with this in mind that we selected these super tips for Book Day games, check out:

To play this game, you need to find books that have been adapted for film or television.
You and the kids can set aside a part of the day, like the morning, to watch a movie or two. Then make some books available to the kids — at least 4 or 5 — and let them search for the works on which the movies they watched were based.
Finally, encourage the children to read the books and comment on the main differences observed between the written stories and those in the movies.
You can even highlight the advantages of reading a story rather than watching it, such as being able to use your imagination to create the scenarios and richness of detail.

This is a simple game that doesn't require a lot of materials. Just write the name of classic children's stories — like “The Three Little Pigs”, “Little Hat Red” and “Sleeping Beauty” — on some papers and then fold them so that the names are hidden.
Then put the papers in a small bag and have one of the children draw a title. She will have to act out the story drawn for her classmates. Whoever gets it right can score points and be the next to mime.
For this activity, you will need blank sheets of paper, colored pencils and, of course, some books.
Have the children sit in a circle and read some short stories to them. At the end, ask the little ones to choose the story they liked the most and leave the book in the center of the wheel.
Then have each child draw their favorite part of the story. In the end, each one must show her drawing to the class and the other children must guess which part the illustration is about.

Book Day games
This one is really fun, but the kids need to have some favorite books to play. You will need booklets that are already well known to them, pen, paper and 1 bag.
It is very simple to play. First, you cut out strips of paper and distribute them among the children. Then let them jot down a few sentences from the books, then fold the papers and place them in the bag. Each child takes a paper and has to guess which character said the sentence. If she gets it wrong on the first try, she gets a clue: which book the phrase came from. If she gets it wrong one more time, she has to pay a monkey, imitating the character.
Here you will also need known books for children, paper and crayons. First, sit the children in a circle and let the little ones see the books, read excerpts or even the entire book (if it's not too big). When they're done, they should place the book in the center of the wheel and choose a book or excerpt from one and draw, but draw only the environment, without the characters. When everyone is finished, just expose the drawings and let them guess which passage or book was portrayed.
For this game, the book you'll need is one the kids have never read. You will also need a pen and paper. Then sit down with the children, show the cover, and read the title and first page of the book. So just ask them to continue the story, whether it's drawing, writing, talking, making comics…
In the end it's just a matter of setting up a wheel and displaying the works, or making a reading wheel. The good thing about this game is that children of any age can participate.
This is great for long holidays, vacations, weekend getaways or even an afternoon outing. All you will need are books, paper and pen. When returning from a trip or trip, suggest that the child tell about the trip, from the point of view of one of the characters in their favorite book. For example, how did Cinderella feel walking along the beach? What did Pedrinho think of the zoo?

For this game, all you'll need is a pen and paper. The game is mimic and, with the children's help, write the names of famous stories on the paper and then cut them into strips, fold them and place them in a bag. Each one takes a piece of paper and mimics it so that the others can guess which book it is. Whoever gets it right is next to do the mime.
For this fun game, all you will need is paper, pen and a bag. Cut the paper into strips and with the children write the names of several famous characters, such as Emilia doll, Little Red Riding Hood, Spider-Man, etc. So just fold the papers, put them in the bag and form a circle. Each child takes two roles and must tell a joke or a short story about what would happen if the two characters met. A child goes to the center of the circle and tells his story, then chooses one of the characters who wrote in the papers earlier and the child who has taken this character goes to the center of the circle to continue the Just kidding.
This game consists of comparisons and analysis. There are several movies that are based on books, so how about watching one of those and then looking for the book, so you can compare the story, the environment, the characters? It also applies to movies that the children have already read in the book, or movie books that they have already seen.
Gather the children with books, paper, pencils and crayons. In this game, children can create their own ending for the book. Choose a not-too-large story and take turns reading until the end. Then say “Oh, but it's not over! Everything seemed resolved when…” and let the little ones invent a new ending.
