How to Make a Cereal Box Book Report
Reading is a fundamental part of early education. Studies even show that reading to newborns helps their brain development and can improve vocabulary later on. Reading opens doors to learning, and will be an essential part of schooling forever.
Chances are that sometime in your mom life you will have a child that needs a book report, and chances are that you also purchase a large amount of boxed cereal. This creates the perfect scenario for these cereal box book reports . They are a fun way for kids to share what they learned in their reading, and a practical way to reduce, reuse and recycle those old cereal boxes.
The first few steps in the cereal box book reports would be to read the book and buy a box of cereal if you don’t already have a box laying around. If you don’t already have a stash of cereal boxes, it could be fun to let your child pick out the cereal from the store with the book report in mind for the end result.
The cover of the cereal box is usually bright, colorful, and has the name of the cereal unmistakably large on the front. The front of the box is a lot of real estate for your child to get creative. The cereal name should be the title of the book. The art work on the front should hint to the storyline just like the cover of a book would.
One side of the cereal box usually has nutrition facts and an ingredients list. The setting of the story can be described in this column. The setting should include things like the location, the era of time. Setting can best be remembered as the time and place. If the setting is described well it is possible for someone to get the feeling of being in the book without having ever opened it.
Main Characters
The other side of the cereal box is where your child can describe the main characters of the story. Describing the setting and main characters are the fundamentals of a good book report. Main character descriptions can include things like age, role, personality, relationship to other characters, physical appearance, etc.
Traditionally, the back of the cereal box usually has a maze, a word search, or some kind of activity that kids love to do over and over again. I think we all had that one sibling who did the activity in pen and ruined it for everyone else. The activity should somehow be related to the book. A word search with main character names or setting details, or title and author information could be included.
Why Book Reports are Important
Book reports are a great way to gauge how well a child understood what they read. Reading comprehension is the only way that reading is beneficial to a child. Making book reports fun and engaging for children could help them have a better relationship with reading. Cereal box book reports are sure to be a hit with your children, and will also help them learn and grow academically. If you try it out, be sure to leave a comment!

Cereal Box Book Report
Over the next 3 weeks, students will read their self-selected chapter book and create a cereal box book report at home. This is your child’s chance to be creative. Students will decorate a real cereal box with illustrations and information related to the book they read using the directions below. All boxes are due on Friday, April 29th. Happy reading!
FRONT OF BOX: Use a piece of white or light colored paper to cover the front of your cereal box. (you will probably want to create the cover before gluing it on your box to prevent any mishaps ). Include the name of the cereal, a description, and a picture. Invent a name for the cereal that is related to the title of the book and sounds like a cereal. Do not use the exact title of the book. Choose a shape for the cereal as well as colors and ingredients that all relate to the book. For example, for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane you may want to invent a cereal called Roving Rabbits, a toasted cereal in the shape of miniature bunny rabbits, pocket watches, and marshmallow suitcases. RIGHT SIDE OF BOX: Make a list of ingredients that include the story elements characters and setting. Under characters, list the MAIN CHARACTERS and write a sentence to describe each one. Then describe the setting, or where the story takes place. LEFT SIDE OF BOX: The left side should contain a summary of the book written in paragraph form. A summary should be in your words, not copied from the back of the book. Summaries should include at least 5 events in the story. Be sure to include the main problem of the story as well as the solution or the lesson learned by the character. BACK OF BOX: Create a game based on the story you have read. It can be a puzzle, word search, maze, crossword puzzle, hidden picture, or any other fun activity you may find on the back of a cereal box. It just needs to be related to the story you have read. Visit www.puzzlemaker.com to create an easy puzzle. TOP OF BOX: The top of the box should include the title, author, number of pages, and number of stars you would give this book if you were a critic. The maximum number of stars is 5 and you may give fractional rating (ex: 4 ½ stars). PRIZE (OPTIONAL): Most cereal boxes now come with a prize of some sort. You may want to design a prize for your cereal and include it on the front of the box. Your prize can be something that the main character used in the story or something that reminds you of the main character.
