Activities

I thought about a few :

- A pub quiz (sort of like a fureur for those who are not familiar with the concept) - evening game

- Werewolf (Loup Garou) told by an Irish person / story-teller or other - so with an Irish theme (evening game, + French kids love the werewolf game)

- A game called Paint Fingers VS Where's Wally? (afternoon game)
Two teams defend their territory by catching members from the other team and putting paint on their arms (specific method otherwise they lose points) + parallel mission : find Wally who is hiding but gives bonuses if you find him.

- Singing evening, English & Irish songs

ok for all of them!

I was thinking about some activities :

-> create a small book that every children could customize according to their feelings. In this book they could glue some picture, draw, write every think that could be related to Ireland and the culture, like a souvenir of their stay there... Souvenir of some visit picture of the time there (if we have the possibility to print pictures directly it could be great)..

-> "boarder guard VS smuggler" (or whatever names X VS Y) the aim is for the smuggler to bring some money from the one point to another one and in between there are the boarder guard which should catch them. If they succeed they have the possibility to look for the money hidden on the smuggler (some place are forbidden). After the first round points are calculated an we switch the roles ..

-> Roles game : we give an ID to children on this ID there are some info about the characters that they should play and some missions to accomplish, such as negotiate 3 clovers to the gardener.. we define a special time for the game , it could be in hours or days ...

-> creativity game : we create team. Each team will be given the same materials for the activity and they will have to build a Irish totem for their village . The most interesting totem will be the one of the year and he will stand at a place where every one could admire it .

I had an idea too, after telling them stories and myths, I thought it would be nice to have the kids separated in different groups and each group would write a little story (about Ireland, of course!). And during a veillée we could have the groups playing or telling their story.
They would be no judging or grades, it's not a competition. But I think the kids will love being part of the creation.

What d'ya think ?

Yeah ! That should be fun

I like it too
