Twist Art

June 1, 2020 By wibadgercamp

Activity Name: Twist Art

Introduction: Painting is an exercise that can provide relief from stress and allow a person to experiment with colors and forms. Not everyone is Picasso, though, and changing up the way we use paint can engage people in new ways.

Size: Any

Supplies: Paper plates, acrylic paints (various colors), paint brushes, newspapers or sheets.4

Objective: Project completion, creativity, hand-eye coordination and following instructions.

Description: Each participant takes two paper plates and applies small, dime-nickel sized dots of paint onto the backs of each plate. Colors and positions are discretionary for each participant. Participant then presses the backs of both plates together and rub them together in a circular motion for 30-60 seconds before pulling them apart. For each participant, the plates must be set aside to dry before they can be displayed.

Frozen Grape Treats

June 1, 2020 By wibadgercamp

Activity Name: Frozen Grape Treats

Introduction: We all need to eat our fruits and vegetables, and sometimes it’s a hard sell to make that happen. This is a different twist on the usual fruits to keep participants engaged in making better food choices.

Size: Any

Supplies: Seedless grapes of any kind, ¼ cup sugar per cup of grapes used.

Objective: Promote healthy eating, group activity and following a list of instructions.

Description: Remove all grape stems and pluck grapes from vine and wash thoroughly. Then place grapes into sealable bags and pour in sugar before gently shaking to coat grapes. Remove grapes and place on paper towels to remove surface moisture. Then place on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours.

Block Scavenger Hunt

June 1, 2020 By wibadgercamp

Activity Name: Block Scavenger Hunt

Introduction: Scavenger hunts are useful for providing a stimulating activity for participants and creating both teamwork, cooperation and healthy competition in children. In this activity, we have a variation that will appeal to participants of a variety of ages.

Size: 3-5

Supplies: Blocks of various sizes and colors (one color per participant), sheets of construction paper in corresponding colors.

Objective: healthy competition, competitive play, sportsmanship and support, spatial reasoning, multi-level task completion.

Description: Each participant is assigned a color and each colored sheet of construction paper is set out on a table. Each person then searches for hidden block pieces of their color (and may not move pieces of other colors) to find a predetermined number (ex. 10 per person). The first to find all their pieces must put them on the construction paper for counting, then completes the task by constructing something from their blocks. The winner completed the activity first.
