Seekonk Library’s Programs for Children and Families, December 2019

Posted

Beyblade Club
Mondays, Dec 2, 9, 16 at 4 PM

Beybladers unite! Join your friends at the library for an after-school Beyblade Club. Beyblade is a competitive game where spinning tops are launched into a stadium and clash until one is either left in the stadium or spins the longest. This game is fun to play and involves strategy, physics, and good sportsmanship. Kids are encouraged to bring their own Beyblades and stadiums. The library will have a limited number of Beyblades to share. “The focus of the club will be on casually playing and meeting other enthusiasts. One goal is to promote good sportsmanship by playing with a number of opponents and learning to be kind whether you win or lose." Whether you're already a Beyblade fan or just want to see what it’s all about, you're invited to drop in and play!

Mystic Aquarium’s Eat or Be Eaten
Thursday, January 2, 4:15 PM

Students may know about sharks, a predator that sits at the top of the ocean food chain. But how many know about plankton, the often microscopic plants and animals that make up the base of the food chain? Both groups are critical for life in the ocean and would not exist if it weren’t for the other. In this presentation children will explore the ocean’s food web’s links and discover who eats whom, how they do it, and why. After the 20-25 minute presentation there will be time to touch and learn about some of the invertebrates you can see in our local waters. This program is for children in grades 2- 5. Siblings welcome. Registration required
