Family Identity: Bookworm

Fun for the Family contains a series of activities and requirements designed to help strengthen families and develop good character skills among family members. This optional scouting award encourages families to interact and connect through five activity areas, which incorporate Cub Scouting’s 12 Core Values.

Join Scouting WDW and explore several ways you may complete some of the family activities – the Disney way!

Shaping Your Family Identity

Activity Choice: Bookworm

Type of Activity: Reading Books

Core Value: Cooperation

Choose a book and read it together as a family. Before reading the book, determine how each person will cooperate to ensure everyone is a part of this activity.

Reading aloud is a marvelous family activity. Each family member brings their own unique personality to the reading and lasting family bonds will be made over a good book.

Biographies help the readers discover the subject’s life story – what shaped them, their values, and achievements. When your family has conversations about the book, they will be able to compare themselves to the subject and discuss lessons learned. To complete the activity requirements, make a timeline poster highlighting the key aspects of the book.

To complete this activity the Disney way, read a biography about Walt Disney. On your next WDW vacation, visit “Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream” at Hollywood Studios. Filled with historical items celebrating Walt’s life, your visit concludes with a 15-minute film telling the story of Walt’s dreams.
