Instructions

Split into teams. Each team should find a space in the room.
The person leading the game should provide each team with a pen and some scrap paper.
Someone should stand at the front of the room and read out a ‘do’ or a ‘don’t’ from the ‘fill in the blanks’ sheet. Each statement is missing a word – the person at the front should say ‘blank’ to make it obvious where the gap is.
Each team should decide what they think the missing word is, and write it on their scrap paper.
Teams should take it in turns to tell the person at the front of the room what they chose as the answer. Any team that chose the right word should get a point.
The person leading the game should explain why you should (or shouldn’t!) do the statement.
Everyone should play again with another statement, until everyone’s confident that they know what (not) to do when camping. The winning team is the one with the most points.
The same person can stay at the front, or people could take it in turns, as long as they don’t peek at the other answers.
Reflection
This game helped you to value the outdoors. Do you enjoy being outside pitching and striking tents? Do you feel comfortable when you’re camping? Were any of the statements about making sure you respected and took care of the outdoors?

This game was also a chance to try new things. Have you been camping before? Have you had a go at pitching and striking different types of tents? Did you know all of the right answers? Do you think you’d find it easier to try camping again now you know more about what to do?
