SHOW NOTES
Camp-Wide Games
C² (Curt & Chris) talk about Camp-Wide Games and a bit of Icebreakers this week.
Camp-Wide Games are games where the entire Camp is playing.
Some tips from Curt:
- Have counselors act out the rules to show the kids how to play instead of just giving instructions verbally.
- Mix it up a bit (example: Change the flag for Capture the flag to an inflatable Shark)
- Theme it (Example: Pirate Flags and Eye patches)
- Check out Curt’s book How to Create Epic Camp Wide Games on Patchwork.
Some Game Ideas from Chris:
- Angleball – Check out this video.
- Scatterball – Here’s another video for you.
Icebreaker Ideas
– Just have conversations on different topics.
– Concentric Circles (similar to Speed Dating)
– Teamwork and Teamplay Cards from Jim Cain
– Raccoon Circles book by Jim Cain
