The 2025 Reading Games Registration is now open thru Friday, November 15th!
Reading Games will be held at O’Neill Middle School on Saturday, February 22, 2025
Note that if your child is interested but doesn’t have a team, you can register as an individual and the district will try to help get him/her on a team. If you have a few kids but just need one or two more, reach out to the PTA Secretary (indiantrailptasecretary@gmail.com) and we’ll see if we can help you complete a team!
If interested, keep reading below for more details and links.
The Reading Games is a fun reading competition for District 58 and District 61 students in grades 3-8. Students form teams and collaborate to read nine books from a book list. At The Reading Games competition on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025, students will face other teams to answer trivia-style questions about the books they’ve read. Teams are made up of 5-8 students, and may include students from different grades and schools. However, due to space limitations, participation in the Reading Games is limited only to Districts 58 and 61 students. Teams will read books and be asked questions from Book List 1 (3rd-4th grades) or Book List 2 (5th-8th grades).
Team Registration
Completing the team registration form below reserves your spot as a team to compete at the Games. You do not need to identify the students that will be on your team for this registration, so there is time to finalize the team members. Between December and January, you will be asked to provide more information about your team, including team name and volunteers. Each team should plan to have the following overall adult participation:
1 Team Contact – This person would be a contact point for the Reading Games committee over the next several months until the event, and would work with the team to coordinate practices and reading. (This person can fill one of the three volunteer roles on the day of the event, if they wish, but that’s not required.)
1 Adult Team Volunteer – This person will fill a role separate from the team on the day of the event, as a moderator, scorekeeper or other needed role. (This can be the Team Contact or another parent)
2 Adult Team Chaperones – These people will stay with the team on the day of the event to supervise the team. (The Team Contact can fill one of these roles, or both can be filled by other team parents. This is in addition to the separate Team Volunteer listed above and would not be the same person)

Individual Registration
If you have a child who would like to participate but does not have a team, you may request a spot using the individual registration form. Although we cannot guarantee a spot on a team, we will do our very best to match children to existing teams, or to assist you in creating a new team.
