Activities

Crafts :

Outdoor games :
dinosaur hunt : needs some preparation before you go. Pictures of dinosaurs (drawn, copied, cut-outs etc.) hidden around field / in woods / around site, and an equal number of clues to find them. Can be used as an orienteering exercise.
Camp challenges : patrol emblems / flags; scavenger hunt – initial letters of DINOSAUR etc.; dress one member of patrol as dinosaur; invent a new way of cooking T. Rex steaks (not really!);

Menu Dinosaur burgers, brontosaurus stew, pterosaur fingers etc. etc. The list is endless – you can call anything anything!
