Game time! Equipment for games with children:

• 1) for sports games: ball, jump rope, flying saucer
• 2) for board games: puzzles, checkers, uno, twister, jenga and etc.
• 3) a book of games that do not require special equipment

For creative pastime:

* Paints

* asphalt crayons

* pencils

* paper

* ribbons for making bracelets

* hypoallergenic tattoos

* a set for creating slimes

Creativity is very important, because everything that was created with kids’ own hands, the child will be able to keep, and this will remind them of the camp, friends, counselors.

For cozy evenings:

* A guitar for songs by the fire

* A book with terrible stories to read together by the fire,

* Electric candles, blankets, lanterns.

* We think it's important to spend time before bed together. It is significant for children to share their emotions and impressions of the day, to sum up the day. This helps them feel a connection with the team, the importance of everyone in it. Thus, all this will unit children.

For free time when there are no scheduled camp events:

* Mini-projector

* Computer

* Portable speaker (you can also make a playlist for morning exercises in advance).

*It is important that children do not get bored in their free time. It is also imperative not to leave children “on their own” in order to prevent hooliganism, injuries and bad behavior.

Other important things

Candles and holiday caps .

The leader must be aware of the presence of birthdays during the camp shift in his unit. For every child this day is the most important day of the year. Being far from home, family, friends, the child will have lack attention from loved ones. So, it is unacceptable to forget about birthdays, to ignore and equate this day with an ordinary, standard camp day.

Mini-prizes, memorable gifts.

It is important that the child has a material part of the camp, so he will look at it and remember these wonderful days.

A camera or a Smartphone with a good camera . After taking a picture, the counselor will be able to print out a photo for each child.

Mini-collection with chants. Armbands or ribbons to distinguish the squad. Whistle, loudspeaker. All this will help to organize the squad, control discipline in the squad, and also increase team, squad spirit.

A kite. On it, the children from the squad will write their names and launch them into the sky. This is a good option for how to keep the children busy on a windy day.

Poster of "wishes".

Rules: in the morning, the counselor stands at the exit of the camp building. Each child approaches the poster and chooses the action he wants to receive from the counselor (hug, kiss, high-five, smile and so on). Thus, the counselor with the help of this poster will be able to track the mood of the child and his feeling of being in the squad.

It will be good if the counselor has the opportunity to take pajamas with him to the camp, since it will be possible to arrange one evening in the camp dedicated to a pajama party.

The camp is an important place. For many children, it becomes a «second home». This is the place where the child finds new friends, and counselors become «second parents». It is important that the child spends this time in a favorable environment, without unnecessary stress. To do this, there must be a competent counselor next to him. Our miracle suitcase will help the counselor cope and find an approach to any child.
