Find your way through the mazes using your muscles to twist and turn! Then spot the differences— what looks different in each picture?
What Campers Will Learn:
When children find their way through a maze or spot the differences in a picture, they have to pay close attention to detail. This helps your athlete learn how to focus and solve problems.
Sack Races
Athletes, place your finger on a path and help Dora and Boots get to the finish line! On your mark, get set, go!
Play Ball!
Help the athletes get through the maze and to the bat, goal, or racket. Which object belongs to which player?
Spot the Differences
There are three differences in each picture— try spotting them with your camper! Find the answers at the bottom of the page.
Try This Together! Some people make mazes you can walk through. Can you and your athlete make a maze in your living room out of pillows, toys, or other objects?
Answers to Spot the Differences: Chase’s ball, the mushroom, and the tree trunk. Molly’s hat, the ball, and the bush.
Learn new facts about bugs!
What Campers will Learn:
Scientists who study bugs are called entomologists. Let’s learn some facts about our not-so-creepy outdoor friends!
Caterpillars are fuzzy worms that turn into butterflies. Did you know caterpillars have 12 eyes?
Did you know that grasshoppers lived before the dinosaurs? Grasshoppers have a special place in their back legs where they store energy so that they can jump really high!
An ant can live up to 30 years and carry 50 times its own weight! They don’t have ears and feel sounds through their feet.
Try This Together! Take a nature walk. If you spot a bug – a butterfly or an ant or another not-so-creepy outdoor friend – take a picture of it and have your scientist draw it when you get home. Then email us at NogginCares@viacom.com so we can share it in our gallery!
Can your scientist predict which objects will sink and float?
What Campers will Learn:
Scientists make a hypothesis, or guess, and then see if it is right or not. Make a hypothesis about each object before you try it. This helps your scientist ask questions and solve problems!
Science Fact:
Everything, even you, is made up of tiny pieces called molecules. An object with molecules that are close together, like a rock, will sink while an object with molecules that are further apart, like a soccer ball, will float.
