Braiiins!



You may have noticed that zombies have taken a leap in the supernatural race and are passing those tries and true vampires. A good Zombie program doesn't have to wait until Halloween anymore.
The title of our program was Zombie Daze!

We put a few things together that were both easy, and cheap.
First, we put together a Zombie Library Survival Survey. We asked questions like "Where would you hide?" and "What would you take with you?" and my favorite "They heard you. What do you do?" We put all of the finished surveys in a draw for chocolates. You could use other prizes, like more computer time, picking the next movie for movie night...it doesn't have to cost anything.

We also had a contest for best zombie. We had cheerleader zombies, infected doctors, poor librarians with a taste for brains. We also had some teens chose to dress as survivors, with face masks, goggles and water bottles.

Our zombie ducks were frighteningly cute. We ordered little rubber ducks from Oriental Trading Company that glow in the dark. Pulling out our basket of permanent markers, we let teens at them.

One artistic librarian painted a zombie and printed out organ pictures. We then played "pin the organ on the zombie". I suggest tape, since blindfolded teens tend to put kidneys on the wrong zombies.


As a treat, we made jello brains. We found a brain mold in a party store and filled it with pina colada jello, adding a bit of green food coloring. We threw in some gummy worms and it turned out to look almost too icky to eat.

Here is a good book list for your zombie program-
