Campers must look at only one person and cannot change their gaze midstream. This activity can also be played as an elimination game. If two campers are looking at one another, they are out. Play continues until only two people remain. Let's Pretend This game gives campers the opportunity to use their imaginations.
Campers stand in an open area.
The counselor or other group leader calls out a scene or an event, such as a picnic in the park, a snowy day, or the Fourth of July. Individually or in groups, campers act out what people do on the called day. For example, for a snowy day, campers might pretend to build snowmen, throw snowballs, or curl up inside with a book and a cup of hot chocolate. For the Fourth of July, campers might pretend to watch or take part in a parade, eat watermelon, or view fireworks. After a few minutes, call out another activity and see what campers come up with.
