If you’re wondering what your camper has been up to this week, here are some questions to get the conversation started…
Gnarly Stump (Nico’s Group)
- What kind of animal was caught in the river on Tuesday? (hint: Northern Water Snake) Did you get to see it? Touch it?
- Did you enjoy throwing tomahawks? What were you throwing at and was it harder or easier than you thought to make it stick in the target?
- What did the crosscut saw look like? Does it require one person or two to operate? Are there many teeth or just a few teeth? What kind of wood did you cut?
Turtle (Pam’s Group)
- Tell me about the village your group is creating…are there actual buildings? What kind? (hint: Tavern, Rooftop Restaurant, Bank, Jail)
- What did the crosscut saw look like? Does it require one person or two to operate? Are there many teeth or just a few teeth? What kind of wood did you cut?
- What is a camera obscura? Did you make one on Tuesday? What materials did you use besides a paper towel roll or cereal box? Is it easier to see more clearly on a cloudy or sunny day? What else do you remember about how camera obscuras were used a long time ago?
