Little Women
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Which March sister would you most want to be snowed in with for a week, and what would the two of you do all day?
What was the coziest scene in the book for you, the one you would happily climb inside and stay in?
The March household is short on money but rich in homemade fun (plays, letters, little clubs). What did that do to you as a reader, and did it remind you of anything your own family invented?
Jo's attic writing corner, Beth's piano, Amy's drawings: each sister has a small place where she becomes most herself. Where is yours, and how did reading about theirs make you feel about it?
This book treats giving something away (food, time, a treasured thing) as a kind of warmth. Was there a moment of generosity here that genuinely moved you, and why that one?
Marmee's steadiness is the hearth the whole book is built around. Who has been that for you, and did any of her gentleness land differently reading it now?
The sisters all want things that pull them away from the house they love. If you have ever felt torn between home and your own ambition, what did this book say to that part of you (without saying how it all shakes out)?
If you read this as a child, what felt different this time around, and was there anything that comforted you now that you would have skimmed past then?
