TREASURE HUNT
What you need:
åá Gold painted rocks
åá Prizes for each camper
Campers will search for King’s Û÷gold’. Let your group find as many gold pieces as they can. This Û÷gold’ can then be taken to the activity leader and exchanged for prizes. Be sure that the campers know that they may not cross any roads; the gold will only be found on camp property. Younger campers should be given a smaller area to look in. Each camper gets only 1 prize, it does not matter how much gold they find.
ROYAL CROWNS
What you need:
åá Cardboard
åá Scissors, Staplers, Glue
åá Decorations
Campers will get to make their own crowns and decorate them with the jewels of their choice.
DRESS UP
What you need:
åá Dress up clothes
åá Chairs and sheets to make tents
åá Make up (all girls groups only)
Kids love to dress up and pretend. There are plenty of dress-up clothes, including lots of Royal garments. Allow campers to create their own place with the chairs and sheets. The older girls can have counsellors and CIT’s assist them with make up too.
ROYAL CARD GAMES
What you need:
åá Playing cards
Boys love to play cards. Teach campers a game like Slap Jack ÛÒ the cards are shared out among players. Players hold their cards without looking at them. At the same time each player places a card face up, starting their own pile. If anyone places a Jack down any player can claim the pile by slapping their hand on the cards (they can do this to any pile), that player gets all the cards in that pile. If a player slaps their hand down and the card is NOT a Jack, they must give each of the other players 1 of their cards. The player who ends with all the cards wins.
CINDERALLA’S SLIPPER
What you need:
åá Cardboard box pieces
åá Scissors, Glue, Staplers
åá Glitter pens
åá Colored thin cardboard
åá Egg boxes
Read or tell the girls the story of Cinderella. Then have each camper make their own Û÷glass’ slipper. Each camper will be given a piece of a cardboard box. They must trace around their own shoe and cut the shape out. They will then each get a few strips of thinner cardboard to make the straps of the slipper across the front of the shoe. This can be done anyway they like. Campers can then decorate the slipper with glitter pens, markers, crayons, etc. They can also place their initials on the slipper in fancy writing. A heel is made using a piece of an egg box.
ROYAL GOBLETS
What you need:
åá Plastic goblets
åá Glass paint, Paint Brushes
åá Newspaper / trash bags to cover the table
Each camper is given a plastic goblet to decorate with glass paint. When the paint is dry the goblet will be fit for use and should be able to survive cleaning. Campers can decorate with their name or any design they wish.
