Summer Camp "Friendship Rocks": Down the Line

Waiting for the game to start!

This game looks easy at first glance but it requires lots of checking in and good impulse control.

Kids stand or sit shoulder to shoulder. Each player holds a yogurt cup in his or her hand. The first player fills his or her yogurt cup with dyed water and then pours the water into the next player’s cup. The water is passed down the line until it reaches the last player and that player pours the water into a bottle with fake bugs in capsules that will grow when soaked in water. The player then moves to the front and the game will continue until the bottle is filled.

Materials:

· bin with dyed water

· Yogurt cups (1 per player)

· Bottle on tray or in bin

· Funnel

· Chalk to mark where to sit/stand

· Bug capsules
