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

 *Day 9: The sea
On the last day of the camp we arrived to the treasure island, but for this, we should sail through the sea before.
The outside-game for this day was a traditional camp game: capture the flag. In this game the kids are in 2 teams, and each team has an own flag. The aim of the game is to capture the other team's flag located at the team's base and bring it safely back to the own base. The players can tag the others in their home territory, and in this case the players are sent to "jail".

After this game we did one of the last crafts of the camp: a crocodile! This activity was a recycle activity, the crocodiles were made of egg boxes!!!

The water appeared after the craft! For the water games this time we chose the game: bomb! All the players are stand up in a circle . One is in the middle counting from 1 to 50 meanwhile the other players are passing the ball to each other. When the kid in the middle arrives to the number 25 he-she will scream "the bomb is going to explode" and on number 50 "the bomb explode". The person who has the ball in this moment has to sit down with open legs, so the neighbour will jump to pass the ball to the other player. To transform this game in a water game we changed the ball for big balloons full of water!!!

The next game that we played was an strategic game inspired by the boardgame: Risk.
The kids were divided in 2 teams, between the teams there was a big map of the pirate world. This world had 8 different lands that the teams should conquer. To conquer a land the kids should throw a waterballoon on the wished land and fight for it on the water-battlefield.

*Day 10: The Treasure island

The Treasure island was our last stop of our trip around the Black sea. We started our last day as every day: with outdoor games.

The first one was a paperball fight! The kids were in 2 teams, each team in a square. Each square had 25 paperballs on the floor. The aim of the game was to have an empty square by throwing the paperballs to the other square.

After the games we did our last craft of the camp: a color sand bottle. For this craft we needed salt, food coloring (we used blue, yellow, green and red) freezer bags and small plastic bottles.
We put a small quantity of salt and some drops of the food coloring into the freezer bag. The kids mixed it by shaking the bag and later they put the color salt into the bottle.
Wehave to be careful during this process because the salt can not be mixed inside the bottle. Here you can see some results:

Finally we played our last pirate games:

We played an obstacles race around the playground. The kids were in 2 teams: the stars and the hearts. One kid of each team  should carry a waterballoon through different obstacles. The team with more balloons at the end of the race was the champion!

The obstacles were to jump in the squares, jump from one side of a line to the other, sing a song, receive a water glass from Yoana, pass a spider web...

It was not simple to pass the obstacles with the big water balloon!!!

We also played a competition of rock-paper-scissors and we had some "penalizations" for the losers (everyone wanted to loose):

To finish the camp we prepared a little party with some food and drinks and music. We also gave to each kid their Pirate Diploma, because after all, they became true Pirates!!!
