What are some ideas for activities for school aged children involved in summer day camp?
Q. This will be for a small town, so museums, amusement parks, and the like are out of the question. Some field trips will be offered to the local swimming pool, library, and fire station, but I need ideas for indoor activities that are outside of the normal scope of coloring and crafts. The program is called "Safarri", though it does not necessarly have to pertain to animals, just adventure.

A. 1. I Spy Safari...where you hide stuffed animals or cutouts of animals around a park or yard and let the kids find them. 2. Give each child an outline of a horse...let them make their own zebras...polka dot, glitter, stars and stripes, etc. 3. Happy Hyenas...let them run down and eat their own antelope or gazelle. Fun and Fitness.

I need to plan some events for junior year and senior year. What are some fun ideas for activities?
Q. I am the class president, so these things will be planned and overseen by me (for the most part). I want some fun activities for both in and outside of school. Fundraisers would help too!!! Any ideas? What did you do your senior year?

A. Scavenger hunts are usually fun. Also, take a look at the party games described at Couch of power and Wink Murder might be fun.

New ideas/activities that a club historian can do?
Q. My friend and I are running for Club Historian for a community service club, where we keep an accurate record of the club's events, through pictures, scrapbook, documenting. Are there new ideas that we can spice up and contribute more to the club, such as activities that would be more fun and more members can participate in? (i.e. Picture of the Week)
