Ideas for a school wide contest

I recently attended the Ministry Conference in Thunder Bay and heard about a really great idea.

A contest for students called WHO's READING??

-Take pictures of all staff members reading their favourite book with only part of the staff member showing. 

-Display these pictures in the school and have students try to identify which staff member is reading which book. It creates a dialogue with students and staff to show that everyone in the school is reading.

-The next step is to take pictures of people from the community reading and have students do a similar contest.  Then invite these community members in to the school to have discussion with students about what they are reading.
