Virtual Pokemon Club
Welcome to the Virtual Pokémon Club for Kids!
Each month we will post Pokémon themed activities, crafts, games and recipes, along with other related fun things to do.
We invite you to participate in this facilitated, safe, and inclusive all-things-Pokémon program designed for children 7-12 years old.
Please enjoy the Virtual Pokémon Club until we can bring back the in-person Pokémon Club in 2022.
Registration for the Winter Spring 2022 season in-person Pokémon Club opens 14 December!
How to participate in the Virtual Pokémon Club
- Try out one or more of the featured activities, crafts, games or recipes. Activities will be posted at the beginning of each month so you can access them all month long.
- Let us know what you thought of the activities and games and/or share some of your makes with us and we'll showcase them right here! Contact Sarah (Children & Youth Services Librarian) at sarah@sgpl.ca with your reviews and photos!
(We will only post photos of your creations, any pictures including faces of your family and friends will not be showcased for privacy reasons. SGPL support and uphold the privacy provisions of Alberta's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act)
We can't trade or battle with Pokémon cards in-person right now BUT how about trying out some of these fun activities and we'll see you back at the library again very soon.
