Think you’re good at giving directions? Put your skills to the test in our Exact Instructions Challenge! In this hands-on activity, participants will try to guide a “sandwich maker” through the process of making a peanut butter & jelly sandwich—using only their written instructions. Sounds easy… or is it?
You’ll quickly discover how important clear, detailed directions really are! Get ready for laughs, surprises, and a sticky lesson in communication.
Perfect for ages 6 and up. Advanced sign up required. Sign up below or call the library (808-323-7585) for assistance. No cooking experience required—just creativity and a sense of humor!
All materials are generously provided by Friends of the Libraries, Kona (F.O.L.K.)
All attendees to programs and events during the Summer Reading Challenge at Kealakekua Library will receive a raffle ticket for a special branch prize to be drawn at the end of July!
Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change.
