Hunger Games Links

Here are some fun Hunger Games links assembled by the Puma Readers:

Games Have fun!

Write a Book Review Join other teens across the country on the GoodReads web site and write a review after you read the book.

The Myth of Theseus and the Minotaur  Did you know that The Hunger Games was inspired by a myth? This is a 9 minute retelling of that myth; see if you see the connections to the novel.

Maps of Panem (there are four):

Map#1 , Map#2 , Map#3 , and Map#4  - which is the best one? Draw your own map and we'll post it in the library.
