My church is doing a summer camp for the few kids we have and we want to make it fun...

Answer
Are you able to go to the place where you'll be having this event and walk around a bit? I had a b-day party for my son last year at a local park, i went up the day before and walked around seeing what kinds of flowers and trees and whatnot were around, then I made up a scavenger hunt list of pine cones and dandy lions and fossils, stick shaped like a Y. I also went to the local dollar store and got some golf balls and army men and little things like that and left them in piles around the park. I split the kids into groups of 2 and gave them a brown paper bag and the list and had them go hunting together. This was for my son's 6th birthday and one of his friends brought his older sister....she said it was the funnest birthday party she had been to.

My daughter (7yrs) wants an indoor camping party, with tents, smores etc. What activites can we do ?

I got tin plates/cups for everyone and we're going to make hobo packets for dinner. I thought of a 'dressup like a camper' game where they would have a sack of random clothes like plaid shirts, fake mustaches, and big old jeans. They would have to get everything in the bag put on and the first one finished would get their picture taken. But what else can I do so the kids have a camping theme activity ?

Answer
there is always duck duck goose. I like the ghost story idea also.

Or you can put different items in brown paper bags number them and close them up tight.

everyone has to feel the item and guess what it is. the one with the most correct answers wins.

Best of Luck

What are some good classroom games for kids?

Q. What are some good classroom games for kids? The kids would have to stay seated so no games with too much walking about. And I'll be giving prizes so there would have to be only one winner. There would be about 30 kids playing. I really have no idea so any help would be brilliant, thanks.

There would be about 30 kids playing. The kids are about 7-10 years old. Any sort of game would be great, but preferably not number games.I really have no idea so any help would be brilliant, thanks.

Answer
Heads Up 7 up... directions at first site below
Around the world ...
Jeopardy .. second web site below ( can be done on computer, projected on white board, or make your own cards)

Consider dividing the students into smaller groups or even partners to play games such as UNO, checkers, PHONICS games, dominoes, chess, Hangman, backgammon, parcheesi , battleship, tic tac toe etc. Try asking the kids what their favorite games are.

There are also all of the circle or group games such as Dollar, Dollar( involves kids passing something from one to another while the person in the middle tries to guess where the object is), Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves ( Person in the middle tries to guess who is changing a pattern of motions), Going on a Bear Hunt ( Repeat song. Leader says a line, students repeat it and the the actions... easily changed ) , Twenty questions ( select a person or an object, students may ask up to 20 questions with yes, no, or I don't know answers) . Have the students make up a story, always stopping in the middle of something to allow the next person to jump in. Do the memory games such as I am going on a camping trip and I am going to take ___. The next person repeats what has been said and adds something. By the end of the game someone ( you maybe) has to repeat all 30 of the students' names and what each will take.

Prizes need not be expensive. For example, I have used animal crackers, vanilla wafers, Clementines, apples, stickers, calendar pictures, coupons for computer time, carnival or book fair coupons etc. Be sure to check for food allergies and school policies before handing out prizes. Consider some activities which stress cooperation and fun rather than just competition. The class will overall run more smoothly. Do you really want 30 highly competitive students in the same classroom? Also, if this is for a party , for example, recruit some help such as a parent or teacher .

Any ideas for what games to play and what to eat for a camping birthday party for a 2 year old?

simplybeck

We have a cabin rented that has a fire pit. There is also a lot of room to do games, etc. Our son will be 2 and there will be kids age newborn to 12 years old and also adults. Any game ideas/food ideas? We were already planning on have stuff for smores & we will have meat to grill (hot dogs/hamburgers). Also, this is going to be for March 2009; I just want to get everything squared away before it sneaks up. Thanks.

Answer
