Games: Build a Model Campsite
Brainstorm
with the girls for a list of everything they might find at camp. Write the list
on a large sheet of paper. Include everything: tents, camp building, flag pole, waterfront,
boats, campfire, trees, rocks, grass, raccoons,
campers, etc. Next have the girls, either individually or by patrols, volunteer
to make specific items on the list. Have available all you scraps of
construction paper, fabric, Popsicle sticks, cardboard, twigs, glue, play dough
or plasticene, paint, yarn, scissors, and so on.
The girls create the objects, then glue them on a piece
of plywood (18x24 inches or 45x60 cm. is a good size).
This makes a great display for an end of the year banquet. This activity could
be done over two weeks…brainstorm one week,
build the next.
