The Green boy or girl
Preparation
needed: gather resources
Resources: large men’s
T-shirt in natural colours, (brown, green) string, scissors, double sided tape
Age
range: early years, primary, secondary, adult
Group
size: any but make sure that there are plenty of
resources for everyone
Additional
issues: beware of allergies.
Either
individually, pairs or In small groups (4-6 is ideal) decorate and camouflage a
member of the team with natural materials. I use old large men’s t shirts that
go over the child’s clothes. They need to disguise their team member, perhaps
making them a head dress, using mud or face paints to camouflage their faces
This
activity can be used with the other Green Man activities but can also be used
with other camouflage activities.
What are we learning from this activity?
Camouflage, using natural resources, working with others, team work,
thinking about the needs of others, looking at things from a different
perspective, choosing and selecting resources, fine motor skills, tying and
sticking
