Similar to "Simon Says" but only with natural objects

Instructions

-Have the YP gather all natural items in the camp, or on hikes.

-Assign an action to each type of item, such as *rock--jump*, *twig--hop*, *pinecone--roll*, *rock--crouch down*, etc.

-Start by showing one object, and the children calling out the associated action, then acting it out.

-As they catch on, start laying out the items in "sentences" on the ground. Watch the silliness and laughter grow.
