Stalking Game

We went to summer camp last year I had planned out a game for the girls that they loved. This game is best plated with guide level or older.

What do you need to play the game?

• Glow sticks (number will depend on group),
• 1-2 Flashlights,
• 1-2 blindfolds,
• a dark night.

How do you play?

• You start the game with all of your glow sticks at on side of the field with one adult.
• Two leaders in the middle
• one is blind folded(three if group is large with two people blindfolded).
• The person who is in the middle who is not blindfolded acts as the eyes of the other two by pointing out the girls who get caught.
• The girls start at the opposite end of the field and make their way across to the glow sticks
• trick is that if the blindfolded person hears the girls she shines the flashlight on them
• that girl then has to return to the beginning and start again.
• In the event that a girl makes it all of the way to the other side without getting caught, they now have to make their way back to the starting point with out getting caught.

The first time we played this game the leaders were in the middle with the flash lights without blindfolds. We found that it was far too easy to catch the girls. so for the second round the leaders closed their eyes and opened their eyes only when the turned their flashlights on to see if anyone was caught. The idea of this game is to teach them how to move through the bushes, rocky surfaces, and grass without being heard. (Stalking methods)
