Actually, this is something the librarian did with the classoom
teachers. Students had to read selected books and then four teams
of four would compete by answering questions from the books that
the librarian had created.

There were two rounds, I think and each team created a team name,
poster. In between the rounds there were commercials other
students made up about reading usually to the tune of some other
song they were familiar with. It was really cute and fun. Let me
know if you need any more info.

Good luck.
