With costumes, songs, cheers, and the like, campers won&#039;t even realize how much they are learning in the process. This is ideally a multi-period activity, with campers preparing earlier in the day for the evening competition.

Here are some suggestions for competitions but feel free to add others: <ul><li><strong>Costume Competition</strong>: Campers will use the fact sheet and pictures to dress in a costume that best represents their city/area.</li> <li><strong>Talent Competition</strong>: Campers will come up with a talent that they can demonstrate for their city based off of what they learn about their city. For example, Tel Aviv's talent could be roller blading on the boardwalk looking pretty. The desert's talent could be gardening because they can make the desert bloom.</li> <li><strong>Art Competition</strong>: Campers create a giant mural that represents their city using butcher paper and art supplies.</li> <li><strong>Song Competition</strong>: Campers will adapt a popular song (their choice) to reflect what is great about their city.</li> <li><strong>Jingle Competition</strong>: Campers will create an ad campaign for their city.</li> </ul></li> <li>Let the campers know that they will be judged for creativity AND how much they know about their city.</li> </ul><p><strong>Stage 3: The Competition</strong></p> <ul><li>This is the fun part! Make the competition as exciting and wild as you can to hype up the audience.</li> <li>Here are some ways to do it: <ul><li>Think about using a panel of judges.

Have them repeat the words a few times, and then do a few quick exercises with them. You can identify one part of the field as each of the directions and then either play "simon says" with moving in different directions, or have them just run toward each area. Once you feel that they can remember the directions (with the aid of the giant compass), have them build the map, reminding them that they can only give each other help by using the five Hebrew words (i.e. if someone is holding a piece with Eilat, another camper could tell them "darom" if they didn't know where it went).</li> <li>If directions are too hard for younger campers, have them construct the map in silence.</li> </ul><p><strong>Stage 2: Discover the Map</strong></p> <ul><li>Once the map is complete, seat the campers and any staff around it.

Israelis or North American staff members who have been to Israel should join in with stories or information about the various places. In the absence of people who have personal experiences in the various locations, you can use the information and pictures provided. You will not be able to paint a picture of all the places on the map, but campers should learn about: <ul><li>The desert, forest areas, mountains, and the Dead Sea</li> <li>The uniqueness of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Be'er Sheva, and Eilat.</li> </ul></li> </ul><p><strong>Stage 3: Building Your Own Maps</strong></p> <ul><li>Bring the campers into the dining hall or outside (provided that it isn't too hot!). Campers should sit around tables and each small group of 3-4 campers receives a foil tray. Pointing to small maps of Israel, the counselors challenge each group to build a map of Israel using ice cream, candies, and sprinkles. You may want to include: <ul><li>chocolate, vanilla, and mint ice cream</li> <li>chocolate syrup</li> <li>chocolate sprinkles</li> <li>M&amp;M’s</li> <li>Hershey’s kisses</li> <li>jelly beans</li> <li>green jelly candies</li> <li>candy fish</li> <li>graham crackers</li> </ul></li> <li>Alternatively, you could use sheet cakes with icing, or trays with veggies.</li> <li>Counselors distribute scoops of ice cream and campers select colored candies and food coloring as needed to depict the State of Israel. Campers should be reminded that their maps will be judged, so they should make deliberate choices about candy and decorations.</li> <li>When all campers’ work is complete, a staff member should photograph each map twice: once by itself and once with its creators.</li> <li>The campers then eat their work!</li> </ul></div></div></section><section class="field field-name-field-activity-variations field-type-text-long field-label-above view-mode-rss"><h2 class="field-label">Variations:&nbsp;</h2><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><strong>Variations in format</strong></p> <ul><li>If this activity is done in a large group, you can stagger the groups who look around the big map and then who make their creations.</li> <li>For younger campers, the explanation about the map of Israel should be curtailed and counselors should help with the creation of the candy maps.</li> <li>This program can be done as part of a cooking activity.</li> <li>You can also create a giant map of Israel with lots of little cupcakes.
