This past weekend I became a Beaver Leader and ran a virtual beaver camp for my son. I will take the woodland name of Hedgehog.
We had seven activity zones to enjoy and a multitude of events to enjoy. This hedgehog encouraged her beaver (and small hodgepig) to have a go at the following things:
International Zone
International Zone
- make onion bhajis (these were so good I shall be saving the recipe)
- play semut orang gahjah game (Indonesian version of rock, paper, scissors)
Snack Zone
- make chocolate mousse (hodgepig thought this was beyond delicious)
- make honeycomb (it didn't work)
- make pizza in a mug (beaver enjoyed making but refused to eat)
FAB Zone
- make a peace dove
- design a positive message to yourself & other beavers
- paint positivity pebbles
Science Zone
- make a sugar sparkler (it takes a few days...)
- make magic snow (it was awesome)
- make puffy paint (really messy)
- make a lava lamp (super cool)
Creative Zone
- draw a picture of your favourite Beaver activity Michelangelo style (upside down)
- make a stick raft
Adventure Zone
- do some yoga
- play Don't Clap This One Back rhythm game
- iron & fold your beaver scarf
Outdoor Zone
- play spot the difference game
- bake a banana dessert
- sing campfire songs (Cecil the Caterpillar is MY friend)
This hedgehog is ready to hibernate!
