Things to Do in a Writing Club?

I have a big problem right now. There's a writing club at my school, it's brand new, like our school, and technically it's a book club, but it's generally the same thing, or similar.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of activities we can do in the writing club, since I plan to take over

I've already had suggestions to get articles from squills, the Knowledge Base, writing websites, and writing books. For prompts I've considered Andy's five minute prompt challenge, giving small random objects and having them write stories related to the items, and themed prompts.

Of course, book discussion. Plot dissection. I'm resorting to the group Save Energy, Waste Paper for activities and lesson plans, plus a few of the articles I wrote about writing.

I'm thinking about getting YWS shirts and buttons, maybe club ID's or these writing stickers and buttons from Inkygirl.com. They have writing comics there, also. It'd be cool if I printed them out for the club.

I also took a writing class over the summer and have the mass of papers I'd acquired during the class.

Any more ideas?

If people in the club are currently working on stories, they could bring them in and people could read/critique/discuss so the writer gets really fast, good feedback and others can learn from mistakes or what people do really well.

What about character development games or activities? Like interviewing their characters or writing letters to them. Making profiles might help too.

Word Wars? A couple of timed wars might get people writing. They only have to be five, ten, fifteen minutes or so.

Hey, i'm starting a writing club at my school. My idea is to watch a movie and fill out a form to get better understanding of plot,characters,etc.

Hmmm I'm in a writing club and we do a ton of stuff.
- read aloud and critique stories
-publish a writing magazine (like Azamov's or Weird and Wacky Tales)
- create posters, pins and t-shirts (not sure why)
-market our magazine to friends and family (we have a grant; but it only lasts for so long and we can apply for another one only if our magazines were sold to a large number of people)

Ooh, perfect thread for me. I'm resurrecting a writing club at my school which a couple of friends and I tried to do last year for Gifted and Talented (Gin and Tonic, yes, or, more appropriately, Geeks and Toffs) pupils in the year below us. It didn't work because their teachers never gave out the reminders and they never knew when to come.
Anyway, this year we're doing it for anyone in our year (year 9/8th grade) and the two years below us, and the plan is to enter young writers' competitions (does anyone know any in the UK?) and to critique each other's writing, as well as playing games. Also, I want to get them involved in NaNoWriMo if possible. Any suggestions on how to make this all sound interesting to a primarily music-based school?

A few games I think would work are the one-word-story (or one sentence, depends), word consequences (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequences_%28game%29 if you don't know it), boggle, speed scrabble, which is great (http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Speed-Scrabble), and there's a brilliant game I can't remember the name of where you're read the first lines of a poem or the blurb of a novel, then have to come up with the next lines or the first page. Then they're all read out and you have to guess which is the real one.
