Bright Ideas - Camp and Sleepovers

We had a "Magical Day Camp" just before Halloween but it would have been fun any day of the year.

I started using ideas from the SPARKS SAMPLE MEETING - "Magic Night" but expanded on the idea to make it a whole day. In the morning we made ourt crafts which transformed all our girls into fairy princesses. We bought fun foam crowns at a craft store for the girls to decorate, as well as the crafts seen here: http://www.girlguides.ca/media/pdfs/14-3/sparks_magic.pdf

Then in the afternoon we had some "magical experiments" from this site: http://www.exploratorium.edu/science_explorer/ I did the "balloon blow-up" as a demonstration, but the girls got to try the "remote control roller" and the "black magic"themselves. The girls also had fun when we made "Slime" out of cornstarch and water. If (when) I do it again, I will add a couple more experiments for them to do as they were done a little quicker than I thought.

We also played Halloween versions of games, like duck duck goose (Cat, cat witch) and Farmer in the Dell. (Hey Ho it 's Halloween) , as well as the Abracadabra game listed in the Spark Instant meeting.

We ran out of time but we also had planned to play "Grave Yard" but I was going to call it "Sleeping Beauty". The girls all had a great time.

We had two Brownies also attend (with their leader moms) and they had a great time too.
