Anyone remember this hilarious game? Did you get to play it at Camp?? 🦙

We call it the 'Whispered Nonsense'- Nat and Morgan are demoing here. Morgan has headphones on with music being played and needs to guess what Nat is trying to say.
After this round, we modified it to be whispers only. Guaranteed to make the audience laugh!!

Whispered nonsense: Typically played with 2 teams, player one needs to whisper the sentence and player two has to guess what is being said.

Spiders web challenge conquered! Get your team members from one side to the other without touching the rope, if you do the whole team must restart! Each spidey web hole can only be used once.

Our Campers worked really well together as a team, problem solving, supporting and encouraging each other and thinking outside the box to overcome this challenge. Lots of patience and perseverance used too! 😊
