Welcome to week 17 and post #76 of Club at Home! Find fun and educational activities for members across all age groups, including a painting tutorial, oatmeal, blackout poetry, acapella, solo acting scenes, Mastermind, drum patterns, and a kindness word search.
As our staff transitions to in-person and virtual summer programming, we’re shifting Club at Home to a new schedule. Follow along every Tuesday and Friday as we highlight our favorite content from previous months, shout out Club announcements, and share new original content.
BGCB Summer Programming begins this Monday! To celebrate our incredible staff who have been hard at work getting our Clubs ready to reopen, check out these lip sync battles they’ve created.

Education Coordinator Braidie challenges everyone to create a type of poetry called blackout poetry. To try it, take a page from an old magazine or book (with permission from your parents) and look for themes or stand-out phrases to create a poem out of the text on the page. You can do this by using a sharpie or marker to blackout the words that you don’t need and highlight the words that you want to showcase! Think about topics or themes you’d like to share and pick articles or books you feel will help.
Check out this example on the left for some inspiration.
For all ages.
