So you have a wonderful personalized book from MeBook, created especially for your child or a child close to you. The pages are filled with adventures, colorful characters, and a captivating plot that puts the child right into the story. But what do you do after you’ve read the book for the tenth time? How do you continue the magic? Here are 15 cool ideas for fascinating activities you can do together to deepen the experience of the personalized book and make it unforgettable.

1. Dramatize the story Turn the book into a play! Divide the characters, prepare simple costumes, and act out the key scenes. Notice how the child interprets their hero.
2. Draw the characters Let the child choose their favorite character from the book and draw them. They can add new details, interesting backgrounds, or funny dialogue bubbles.
3. Write a sequel together What happened after the book ended? Encourage the child to invent a continuation of the hero’s adventures. This can be in writing, drawing, or even a series of pictures.
4. Make finger puppets of the characters Create simple finger puppets together that represent the characters from the book. Use them to play or retell the story.
5. Host a themed party based on the book If the book takes place in a specific location or focuses on a particular area of interest, turn it into a party theme! Prepare food, decorations, and games that match the atmosphere.
6. Go on a journey in the hero’s footsteps If the book is set in an environment similar to where you live, go on a walk together and try to identify places the hero could have visited or activities they could have done.
7. Make a recipe from the book If there’s a reference in the book to the hero’s favorite food, try making it together! This can be a great opportunity to talk about healthy eating and personal preferences.
8. Create a character and relationship map Draw a large map of all the characters in the book and connect them with arrows to show the relationships and interactions between them. This can help the child better understand the motivations and emotions of each character.
9. Imagine a day in the life of the hero Ask the child to imagine what a typical day in the life of the hero looks like. What does he eat for breakfast? Where does he go? Who does he meet? Encourage the child to tell or draw it.
10. Create your own personalized book Use MeBook to create another personalized book for the child, perhaps with a different plot or new characters. Let them be an active partner in the creation process.
11. Play role-playing games The child can play the hero, and you can take on roles of other characters from the book. Improvise new scenes and introduce surprising challenges.
12. Write a diary of the hero Encourage the child to write (or draw) a diary as if they were the hero of the book. This can include the character’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences throughout the plot.
13. Create a soundtrack for the book Choose songs that you think match the mood and events in the book. Play them in the background while you read or act out scenes from the story.
14. Make a presentation about the book Help the child create a simple presentation that tells the plot of the book, perhaps with drawings or puppets they’ve made. Present it to family and friends.
15. Look for important messages in the book Discuss the important messages, values, or lessons that emerge from the book. How do they relate to the child’s life? How can they be applied?

These activities are not only fun and educational; they also allow the child to connect on a deeper level with the personal story, explore the characters and their world, and internalize the important messages. They encourage creativity, empathy, and critical thinking, and create precious memories of shared quality time.

And every time you return to the beloved book, the adventures and associated activities will echo between the pages, making the experience even richer and more meaningful. Because a good book is just the beginning. With a little imagination and initiative, the magic can continue long after the story ends.

So go ahead, embark on a new adventure with your personalized book! Let imagination lead the way, and enjoy every moment of discovery and shared creation. We at MeBook can’t wait to hear which exciting activity you’ll choose!
