Hello,
I am having an amazing race theme for our camp this week and yesterday we did 5 activities, today we did 4, but the kids wanted to know why there wasn't more! I need to try to come up with one more activity for our
japan themed day, and one more for our Mexico day to make them both have 5 instead of 4. They need to be things that won't require any shopping as I have already blown my budget!
For Japan one challenge is either feeding one person seaweed using chopsticks, or everyone on the team (6 people) 2 gummy bears each, also using chopsticks. Another challenge is finding a tiny safety pin in a bunch of rice. After that they either have to follow the instructions to make an origami animal or use a premade paper ninja star and throw it through a hula hoop hanging from a goal post. The final task I have is dropping a clothespin figure they are making in the morning over their shoulder into a tea cup. Any suggestions for something else? I would like something that involves running or more physical activity, but I did a teacup water bucket filling type relay already today. We also did the golf ball on the spoon relay as well. I can't think of anything Japanese themed that involves a relay.
For mexico we are doing a tortilla toss, a memorization or scent recognition test, a pinto bean search and spell activity and water balloon piñatas. Any suggestions for something kids age 4-10 could do would be great!
we did puzzles, whipped cream with no hands eating, and a gold nugget hunt already this week too.
thanks for any suggestions!!!!
