Cereal Box Book Reports – A Fun Alternative!
Share this Post
If you’ve never tried Cereal Box Book Reports, I suggest you give it a try! Teachers are always looking for unique ways to assess their students’ comprehension of fiction books and novels they have read. Many teachers find traditional book report alternatives to be extremely helpful in getting students excited about reading. Sometimes, however, students crave s omething a little bit different . Enter Cereal Box Book Reports!
A few years ago, I started using Cereal Box Book Reports as a Reading project. My students LOVED making them, I noticed a big difference in their engagement in the book report process, and they were so excited to share their final projects. We even left the finished products on display in the classroom!
CEREAL BOX BOOK REPORTS
I suggest having a parent helper work with you to cover all the cereal boxes with white bulletin board paper before you introduce the projects. It saves a TON of work!
Before we began the project, I gave each student a scoring rubric so they knew exactly what was expected. We went over the rubric together.
Then, I explained that cereal names must correlate to the novel they had chosen to read. These two projects were for the books Charlotte’s Web and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone .
My students loved having the freedom to choose their own novel (pre-approved) and get creative in matching the theme of their cereal box book report to the book!
While creating their reports, students wrote the book summaries on one side panel of the cereal box. They identified and described the setting and main characters on the other side panel.
On the back of the cereal box book report, students created a fun game or activity related to the book. Some made a word search, while others designed mazes, word scrambles, or riddles.
The title, name of the author, and book ratings were added to the top of the cereal box book reports.
You can either create your own rubric and project directions for your own students, or if you would like to save time, check out my popular, ready-to-print Cereal Box Book Report Packet !

Cereal Box Book Reports
- May 16, 2022

Our Co-op has had a fun year doing our book club. Every month we read a new book and did the activities that went along with the book. For some of our books, we ended the month by making our own version of the story, some with art, some with a poem or a piece of art. One of the great projects we did was a cereal box book report. The book we read this month was Audrey L. and Audrey W. Best Friend-ish . It was an awesome book about the jealousy and learning how to be friends for the elementary-aged. It had many great lessons and was fun and enjoyable. There were some silly jokes that even made the boys in the group laugh so the female lead characters did not deter them too much.
After the book, the girls created a cereal based on the story. They picked a mascot and named the cereal on the front of the box. One side was for the ingredients where they listed the characters and setting. The other side was for a short summary of the book. The best part was the game they created for the back of the box. It would be easy to create this on blank paper, which is what we did for the cover. For the games, I used grid paper and a blank maze we had for them to build around. I used a handy dandy template for their box sides!
This activity would be great for any book. Our co-op all shared theirs from the same book and came up with so many different mascots and games as it is. The ingredients and summaries were all similar. It would be really fun to do with a group if they all read different books. The kids could then trade them all, learn about new books and even try out the games.
