I was just taking notes for myself, after reflecting upon such a successful summer camp. It excites me and thrills me so much that I am already planning next year's. Hope this helps anyone who wants to do this in the future! 1) Memorize something important such as historical documents or classic stories : make it fun with singing, hand motions and expression 2) Be theatrical when teaching: wear costumes, makeup, use fake accents 3) Crafts: making things = making memories. Using your hands reinforces what your learning 4) Snacks: Have yummy, healthy snacks to eat and the more themed the better 5) Games: Trivia games and ones that get kids moving are stimulating and strangely calming for the learning moments 6) Performing. When kids perform what they learn, not only do they have a good time but they also are more likely to remember it! 7) A finale: There should always be something to look forward and work towards at the end: A reward, play, Big Game, CAKE, etc. Sent from my LG
