10 Ways Americans Had Fun During the Great Depression
Duration: March 1, 2021 - May 31, 2021

Tasks:
1. Watching Dance Marathons Where Contestants Danced Till They Dropped
Before reality television, Americans who wanted to see strangers do unusual or dangerous things for money and attention went to dance marathons. These marathons started in the 1920s as part of an endurance contest craze; but when the Great Depression set in, dance marathons became more than just a form of recreation for the contestants. As long as dancers kept dancing, they had food, shelter and the chance to win a cash prize.
💃 Read a book with a dancing scene OR whose title begins with a letter in DANCE OR where a character wins some cash.

2. Venturing into Haunted Houses
Halloween traditions like trick-or-treating, costume parties and haunted houses began during the Great Depression as a way to keep young people out of trouble.
Parents used their creativity to put together haunted houses without spending a lot of money. “Hang old fur, strips of raw liver on walls, where one feels his way to dark steps,” advised a 1937 party pamphlet on how to create a “trail of terror.” “Weird moans and howls come from dark corners, damp sponges and hair nets hung from the ceiling touch his face… Doorways are blockaded so that guests must crawl through a long dark tunnel.”
👻 Read a book with a haunted house in the story OR whose title begins with a letter in HAUNTED OR where parents do something fun for their kids.

3. Lining Up to See People Sitting on Poles
Another 1920s endurance challenge that continued into the Great Depression was flagpole-sitting—i.e., sitting atop a pole for as long as possible. The man who started the trend was a Hollywood stuntman named Alvin “Shipwreck” Kelly. In the summer of 1930, as many as 20,000 people came out to see Kelly eat, sleep and shave atop a 225-foot flagpole in Atlantic City for 49 days.
🏖️ Read a book where a character is a stuntman OR whose author's initials can be found in SHIPWRECK OR set at the beach.

4. Gaping at Students Swallowing Goldfish
The contest started at Harvard University in 1939 when some students bet a freshman $10 that he couldn’t swallow a live fish. On March 3, the freshman fulfilled his end of the bet by chewing and swallowing a live goldfish in the dining hall in front of a group of students and a reporter.
🐟 Read a book with a goldfish on the cover - Show cover - OR where characters attend college/university OR with the word swallow in the text - Give us a page #.

5. Seeing High-Tech Hollywood Movies
The Great Depression was a largely successful decade for Hollywood. Tickets on average cost under a quarter for the whole of the 1930s, down from 35 cents in 1929, so spending time in the cinema was an affordable form of escapism for many.

Hollywood began investing in new soundstages and movie concepts that could make the most of new sound technology, and this ushered in big-budget musicals with original songs like 42nd Street (1933) and The Wizard of Oz (1939). It was also the decade when Walt Disney released the first-ever full-length animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
🎞️ Read a book where a character goes to the movies OR whose title begins with a letter in MOVIES OR with a 2 or 5 in the # of ratings the book has received.

6. Building Soap Box Cars and Racing Them
Soap Box Derbys started in the 1930s as a competition for kids that didn’t require a lot of money. In 1933, a journalist named Myron Scott noticed some kids in Dayton, Ohio, were racing in soap box cars they’d made themselves. He took some pictures of them and started helping them organize bigger races. By the end of the summer that year, these races were drawing up to 40,000 spectators.
🚗 Read a book set in Ohio OR with children in the story OR where some kind of racing occurs.

7. Binging on the Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
One of the time-honored traditions in American history is reading about the torrid lives of celebrities. For Depression-era Americans, this meant reading about “Cafe Society.” After Prohibition ended in 1933, former speakeasies in cities like New York turned themselves into chic restaurants and nightclubs filled with movie stars, musicians, rich people who hadn’t lost all their money yet, hangers-on who were trying to stay relevant and plenty of gossip columnists to record what all these people did there.
🍸 Read a book with a celebrity (real or fictional) in the story OR whose title begins with a letter in GOSSIP OR where a character drinks alcohol.

8. Creating Real Estate Empires in Monopoly
The fact that a board game called Monopoly became popular during the Great Depression. The game’s inventor, Elizabeth J. Magie, first patented it in 1904 as the Landlord’s Game to teach players about the evils of capitalism. In 1935, a man sold it to the struggling Parker Brothers company, which then began selling it as Monopoly. The game was a huge success among Great Depression families because it was a relatively cheap form of entertainment that they could use over and over.
🎲 Read a book where characters play a board game (Tell us the game) OR written by a female OR with a 1, 9, 3 or 5 in the page count.

9. Reading the Comics and Complaining About How Political They Were
Every Sunday, kids around the country grabbed the funny pages to read about the adventures of Dick Tracy the detective, Flash Gordon the Yale polo player and Little Orphan Annie, the plucky young girl with surprisingly pro-business, anti-labor views. In one 1933 comic, Annie cheerfully exclaimed: “Leapin’ Lizards! Who says business is bad?”
Annie’s politics reflected those of her creator, cartoonist Harold Gray. Enraged by the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in ‘32, Gray used his strip to rail against unions and the New Deal.
💬 Read a book with a character/author named Annie (or a form of the name - Anna) OR with a politician in the story OR tagged Comics/Graphic Novels/Manga.

10. Tuning in to Hit Radio Shows About Masked Avengers
Radio was an important source of news and entertainment during the Great Depression. Over the decade, the number of American households with radios grew from roughly 40 to 83 percent.

Every week, Americans tuned in to follow the masked vigilantes in The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet or laugh along with comedians like Gracie Allen and George Burns. Kids in particular listened to Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie—two shows inspired by the popular comics—and mailed in Quaker Oats box tops or Ovaltine seals to join each show’s secret club.
📻 Read a book where a character listens to the radio OR whose title begins with a letter in RADIO OR tagged Drama or Humor.
