Theme-of-the-Day is a daily post where we ask readers to leave their summer camp ideas, using the day’s theme, in the comments section. What ideas and suggestions do you have for the Theme of the Day? What game, craft, apparel choice, theme meal, evening activity, special event, song, skit, or anything else would you do at camp if your theme was…
All Ball
Below are my five suggestions. Run with the ball. Leave your suggestions in the comments area below.
- Play all the traditional ball sports (basketball, football, lacrosse, volleyball, tennis, golf, etc.) but also play sports the campers may not have tried (bocce ball, cricket, broom ball, water polo, etc.)
- Lead a juggling workshop.
- Teach “ball”room dancing and on one of the evenings have a Masquerade Ball.
- Do you offer cooking as a camp activity? Make popcorn balls.
- Throwing softballs is fun. Throwing softballs at a dunk tank is better.
OK, how about swapping the ball from basketball and baseball…nerf is safer.
How about ball(oon) volleyball(oo) or dribbling a golf ball or a jacks ball or ?????
You are giving me ideas, Peggy. How about putting tokens with pictures of different kinds of balls (basketball, baseball, golf ball, volleyball, dodgeball, etc.) into a bag. Then choose a sport to play. Let’s say baseball. Now have someone reach into the bag to choose a random token. Whatever ball is on the token that is the ball you play with for that sport. “Uh oh, looks like we are playing baseball with a kickball. Thank goodness we didn’t pick out the bowling ball”.
