Introduction • Kindergarten teacher • Scavenger hunt • Hide and Seek
My facilitator • Cathy Geist • Director of Hide and Seek day camp • Cathy has run the camp for 5 years • Retired preschool teacher
Hide and Seek Day Camp • Christian summer camp • Outdoors adventure camp • Rock wall • Zip line • Arts and crafts • Games • Low ropes(slack line and telephone pole) • Water day • Ages 5-11 • I have worked every summer for 4 years
Research • Hands on activities • Montessori • I used hands on activities for the scavenger hunt • Researched each activity
My Product • Scavenger hunt • I love to work with children and at camp • I studied the curriculum • Wrote the questions and came up with the activities • I wrote the directions and put together the activities
The Curriculum • Luke 2:41-52 • Jesus teaches at the temple
Activities • Snowman building race • Ice sickle obstacle course • Snowball shooter • Penguin egg search • Jigsaw puzzle • Swift suit up • Animal snow search
Snowman Race • Each group had to make the best snowman possible • Teamwork
Ice Sickle Obstacle Course • Goal: go through the ice sickles without touching them • The kids enjoyed the obstacle course
Snowball Shooter • Goal: shoot the snowballs into the buckets • The boys enjoyed this activity more than the girls
Penguin Egg Search • Goal: find the penguin egg in the snow • One egg had the hint in it
Jigsaw puzzle • Goal: put the puzzle together as fast as possible • The kids did not enjoy this activity as much
Swift Suit Up • Goal: put on all your winter clothes as fast as possible
Animal Snow Search • Goal: save the baby animals from the snow
Challenges • Not enough camp staff • Clean-up • Messy activities • Age difference
What I learned • I learned that I really enjoy working with children • Scavenger hunts can be difficult to plan • I learned that working with children takes a lot of patience • I learned that it takes a lot of time management skills • I learned that I would still like to pursue a career in early childhood education.
Conclusion • Jaxon’s story • I liked the senior project • Thank you for your time!
