Next up after campers refuel with a quick snack we head towards social skill! Today’s social skill is language and interpretation!
Campers played pictonary to start with and drew out idioms on exactly how they sounded. One of the campers drew out spilling tea just like “I spilt the tea”
Another game campers played was tank, campers teamed up into twos. One was the tank and was blindfolded the other camper was in charge of directing the tank in shoot the ball of yarn at other teams. Campers began with leading with physical touch and no verbal cues. Round two was campers used only verbal cues and no physical touch. The last round had only clapping, noises with no words. Campers learned to not only interpate language in words but also in body language and the environment around them!
Campers also played “What do you meme”. They were given 5 captions and an emoji/tone were they found the best caption that fit their meme. All campers learned about the importance of tone, and made a huge difference in the way they speak!
After social skill we head towards clubs! Sports club played hockey, Art club made coffee filter drawings and paper airplanes, and Science club made Ninja star Popsicle sticks.
