Fueled for Fun! - Week 4

We started Hollywood this week by fueling up to a song called "Peanut Butter in a Cup." We also learned a traditional camp song called "Peanut Butter and Jelly."

As the week progressed, campers honed their drama skills by playing a variety of theatre games.  The younger campers stretched their imaginations by being shown not-so-common kitchen items (ie: garlic press, juicer, orange peeler, etc). They had to imagine how they could use the item in play. The ideas were flowing!! The garlic press became a hair straightener and a nail clipper for dogs.  The juicer became a spinning top and sailor hat. The orange peeler became a flute and a toothbrush!

We continued using our imaginations by playing Bumble Bees and Butterflies. Similar to tag, two campers are designated Bumble Bees who go around and sting the Butterflies.  Once a butterfly is stung, they must be rescued by two other butterflies and taken to the butterfly repair center.

Older campers enjoyed several drama games that worked on cooperation and group dynamics.  Kitty Needs A Corner became an instant hit for most campers. This game relies on communicating without speaking.  We also performed the Human Knot.  Some groups played a game called Cross the Circle which relies on group awareness and focus. Other groups played a game called Clap Together.  Clap Together is a drama game that encourages players to be aware of the people around them and work as a team to clap together at exactly the same time. Not as easy as it sounds.

We ended the week with some good old fashioned musical chairs and freeze dancing! It was a fun Friday!

Have a Great Weekend!
