Marvel Movies have universally taken over pop culture. So when it comes to programming for tweens and teens, Marvel has become a fandom favorite.
Recently, we did an Avengers: Infinity War interactive movie program for teens that attracted tweens, teens, and some adults. We ended up with triple the number of participants then we normally have, and all it took was a Marvel hook and some self-guided library activities.
We popped some popcorn, provided some cookies, and set out a few fun activities.
The main activities was trivia. My library is lucky enough to have several large projectors. While the movie was playing, I also have trivia going. Below is the trivia slides I used! Feel free to use them.
If teens did not want to play trivia to win an advanced reading copy of YA titles, we had other activities that included :
- Reading a large display of library comics
- Making Wakanda bracelets with large wood beads and silver permeate markers we purchased from Amazon. (A Night Owl Blog has a wonderful tutorial on how to do this)
- Voting station to share various theories they had about the new movie Avengers: End Game.
This program was low cost, fun, and an easy fandom program that libraries could easily plug into for an all age programming that showcases library materials.
Have you done a Marvel program?
