The first program I helped plan at the library, was a Pokemon GO! themed party with Syrena, when Pokemon Go! first came out in 2016. We made team badges so the kids could pick their favorite Go! Team: Mystic (blue), Valor (red) or Instinct (yellow).
We also made a Gym Badge for our library. I drew the badge in photoshop in the style of Pokemon and used elements of our library logo. Then we made them into buttons.
For activities we decorated ping pong balls with permanent markers to look like pokeballs, then we threw them at cardboard cutouts of Pokemon. If they knocked them over the Pokemon were caught. The last activity we did was a scavenger hunt.
We hid 100 small plastic Pokemon in the children’s department for the kids to walk around and find, similar to how the game has you walk around town searching for Pokemon. Each kid had a sheet of paper with 3 pokeballs on them as a reminder that they could only catch 3 Pokemon. After they found 3 Pokemon they traded Pokemon with each other. It was a lot of fun, and I would like to do that program again some day.
