The Reading Dragons program is a free, card-based reading incentive program that encourages Elementary school-aged children to read for fun. Participants can collect dragon trading cards and play card games. 
**The program was developed by the Dover Public Library in Ohio and is based on the idea that adding a gaming element to reading can be beneficial.

For every hour of reading, you can earn a Reading Dragon trading card, up to 4 cards per month.

Participants can simply collect cards or challenge friends to tournaments!

  • To play, you and a friend each choose one card secretly, keeping it hidden so your friend can't see what you chose. Then count to 3 and both of you flip over your cards to see who wins.

    • Fire beats Leaf         Leaf beats Water         Water beats Fire

    • If you have the same color you tie

  • Tournament Scorecard

    • Place 5 cards face down in a row. Do not let the other player see your cards.

    • Both players will flip over their cards at the same time. One card at a time.

    • If your cards have the same color you tie.

    • Blue beats Red          Red beats Green         Green beats Blue.

    • A tie - 0 points. Winning = 1 point.

    • The first player to 3 points wins the match.

    • If you flip over all 5 cards and neither player has earned 3 points, flip over a new card. Continue until one player wins.
