Rules
Show around
Name Games: * Shop Game. Pick an item you would buy in a shop beginning with the letter of your own name. For example, if your name was Monica: “I went to the shop and bought Maltesers”. Each child then adds his own item to the previous sentence. Example: “I went to the shop and bought Maltesers (Monica) and Cookies (Connor). This continues around the circle and we’ll see if the last child can remember all the groceries!
* Pass the Ball. Sit in a circle with a ball. The person holding the ball says their name, and then passes the ball onto the next person. Do a few rounds getting faster and faster. When the group are catching on to each others names, the child with the ball has to call some one else’s name before throwing the ball to them.

Tuesday
Healthy Lifestyle Talk: Chat on two topics every day. Tuesday’s topics on Why exercise is good for you and The Food Triangle – Healthy Eating.
Daily Warm Up: Show the children different stretches and explain where you are stretching and why you need to stretch before exercise.
Familiarising Games: Group activities such as Chinese whispers, The Laughing Game (One person sits in the middle of the circle and has to keep a serious face while all the other children try to make him/her laugh), Love Letter ( one person has ‘lost’ a love letter they wanted to give to there love. The rest of the children stand in a line. One of these children has the letter hidden on his person. The person who lost the letter is given three clues as to who has it and then has to guess.)
Music and Rhythm: Pick out two or three songs for the children to learn. One of the songs should be appropriate for the younger children, one for the more senior in the camp. The last song should be appropriate for all age groups. Examples of songs: The Bumblebee Song, In the Jungle.
Clap out different rhythms for the children and see if they can follow. Make beats using your hands! Also have a few games of musical bumps.
Cooking: Help children make nice cookies or rice crispy buns they can bring home to their mums and dads!

Wednesday
More Familiarising games: Sleepy lions! Everyone curls up in a ball to go asleep. Give the children about 30 seconds to get comfortable. The children are not allowed wake up, their eyes must stay shut and they shouldn’t move or laugh. The camp leaders have to roam around trying to wake the children up or make them laugh or smile. The last child to wake up is the winner and gets a small award.
The Shark Game! For this game you need to bring out the parachute. Out of the group you pick one ‘Shark’ and one ‘Lifeguard’. All the children except these two have to sit upright with their legs tucked in under the parachute. The shark then has to crawl under the parachute and try to pull them in by their lags while the lifeguard try’s to prevent them from being pulled under.
Warm up: As on Tuesday!
Healthy Living Talk: Pick another two topics to discuss such as the necessity of water or the bad effects of fizzy drinks. Let the children tell stories related, and get them into the discussions.
Treasure Hunt: Wrap up small sweets or little treats in tin foil. While the camp remains in ball area supervised by one of the leaders another of the leaders goes into the structure and hides the treasure. Once the treasure is very well hidden tell the children to get into their own groups of twos or threes and brig them into the structure. Before the hunt begins make sure you emphasise that every treasure they find they must bring it down to the bucket which one of the leaders are looking after. Make sure the children know that the treasure will be equally divided at the end so it matters not how many prizes they find or if they find any at all!!!

Bouncy Castle
Thursday
More Familiarising Games: Some of the games you have played during the week, Ship, sea, shore or Pass the Bomb etc.
Warm Up
Body Maps: For this activity we run through all the things we know are in our body. For example, a heart and lungs etc, then we run through why we have these different organs and what we need them for. After this discussion we bring out the mini body suit that shows us exactly where our organs are. We take turns in sticking the organs on the right part of the body
Obstacle Course: For this activity you will need access to studio 1 in the gym next door. Using any equipment you find useful, create an obstacle course, keeping in mind the ages of the children you are making it for. If it is too easy, they will be bored after just a few minutes but it cannot be too hard!! Bring the group into the studio and run through the whole course, demonstrating it yourself. Once they have seen you do it, divide them into two equal teams. Once divided, have a ‘practice run’, allowing each child have a turn. After this, the real game begins. After each child has completed the course, have them sit down with their backs against the wall. If they are not sitting they will lose their team a point. The winning team is based on speed but also on points!
Lunch
Talent Show: For the talent show you have to do your best to encourage everyone to take part. Each child is allowed perform either in groups or on their own. The main rule in the talent show is that anything goes!! Whether the child wants to tell jokes, sing, and dance or just jump around and act the fool!! Always encourage the child, no matter what they do!

Friday

Warm Up

Lunch
Table Quiz: Generally we have three rounds of questions. The first on T.V. shows, the second on Disney Movies or the latest children’s movies that are out. The last and final round is based on the Summer Camp. You can ask questions about the healthy living talks or joke questions involving the camp leaders. There are ten questions in each round.
Drama Fun: Starting off with a small introduction to drama and how to use your imagination. This is then followed by a warm up. The children need to loosen up their bodies, faces and voices. We help tem do this with a series of stretches, shakes and facial and vocal exercises and games. Next we move onto the interactive exercises. These involve stories and games to help relax the children and build their confidence in a group. Stretch their imaginations to invent silly creative improvisations. Following these exercises we have some more, serious drama fun! These games are purely entertaining and will have the children laughing. These games have the children using vocal techniques without even realising! Enhance the children’s creative thinking with improvisations and games. At the end of the class we will have a short wind down before the end of the camp.
