About This Activity
Shelters keep us warm, give us shade, and provide us with a temporary home outside. The basics of shelter building will be covered and actively applied as the children build a home base for their team. Through bartering and teamwork, each ‘tribe’ will be able to face the challenges of living in a dynamic community and creatively find ways to fill the needs of the whole. Students Will: Learn the core principles of sound shelter building Discover what materials are readily available in the surrounding environment Practice working together as a cooperative whole Play games that will help them become familiar with local plants and animals
