Summer Urban Camp: Pirates of the Black Sea, second week I

 *Day 6: The boat 
We started the second week of the pirate camp with a sunny day in which we were on the boat. There were two islands more to know, and a lot of games to play.
The day of the boat started, as usual, with outside games:







We started to seal all over the Black Sea so we found seaguls a lot of times! We made a flying seagul craft with paper, string and a stick:


After we sang our pirate song, we played a funny and nutritive game:


For this game the kids are divided in 2 teams. The teams are placed in one extreme of the playground, opposite to 2 tables with a yogurt on the left and watermelon on the right. The kids are stand up in a line and all of them look at the same direction except the last one, the only one who can look behind. In this case Yoana was behind with a poster. On one side of the poster there was a skull and on the other one there was an anchor. The skull means left and the anchor right, so when Yoana shows one side of the poster to the kids who can look to her, they have to turn around and pass the message (right or left) through the line to the first person, WITHOUT SPEAKING!!! The first kid has to run to the table and eat one of the options, if she-he is right, he-she will change the place with the last kid of the line, if she-he was mistaken, she-he has to stay. The team who change first all the places of the line wins.





*Day 7: Mumboss Fortress
For this day we prepared a big game: a minesweeper! We prepared the board on the floor of the playground: 144 squares (12x12) and we covered them with paper and stones.



The squares could be:

- A number from 1 to 4
- Coins (from 1 to 12 coins)
- G
- Blue bomb
- Pink bomb
- Blue-pink bomb


The number (as in the original minesweeper) shows how many bombs there are in the squares around.
The coins are the aim of the game, chocolate coins.
A blue bomb means to lose 2 coins and a pink bomb means to give all the coins to the other team.
A superbomb means lose everything!!!


The kids discovered every square carefully and very concentrated. Each movement was difficult!!



The kids were in 2 teams, and one by one  went close to the board to discover one square. The G means game, so we also played small games:





In this game nothing was sure! The teams can lose all that they had in a second, and recover it a few minutes later! Maybe your team has only 5 coins, but after one square you have 25! This did the game so exciting for the kids! At the end only one team had coins!!! The winners ate all the treausure: the coins were chocolate pieces!




*Day 8: Death Island
At the Death island we created a totem. A totem is a being, object or symbol representing an animal or plant that serves as an emblem of a group of people.







And we painted ourselves as mexican skulls:
