Camping Activities

When you are camping, there is no surprise that you may come across some animals or animal prints.

Use a Bosu Ball, air disc or uneven surface to play the animal print game. Touch each animal print with one foot while maintaining your balance.

These bear prints can be found in the Pink Oatmeal freebie library (look under polar bear prints).

When you cross the balance beam, you can step on the different animal prints that you may see while camping. This can be done by keeping one foot on the beam or stepping on and off the beam.

Start off moving like an insect, bug or creepy crawler with insect yoga or insect movement cards. Flutter your wings like a butterfly or move like a worm!
