Travel between stations representing animals, clouds, glaciers,
groundwater, and many other. Gather beads as memories of your
life's travels. Compare life (string of beads) to other “drops” of water. Fun game anyone, any age can play!
You will need:
9 designated stations 9 six-sided dice (one for each station) 9 colors of pony beads (one color designated for each station) Teacher Information Sheet (Cut by station then place each section at corresponding station) 9 Station Information Sheets (plus 1 extra sheet to use as an example, if for Pre-Opening) A string or pipe cleaner for each participant to track their journey (by adding beads in the
order that they move from station to station as indicated by their role of the die and
according to the information page) 1 Water Cycle Worksheet (For explaining during Instruction)
You can find the Information Sheets at http://arcticclimatemodeling.org/lessons/acmp/acmp_k4_WaterCycle_WaterCycleGame.pdf Skip the 1st two (classroom instruction) pages.
Set up stations (and label them) in a way that it is easy to find each station but you have to walk several steps to get to each one. Moving from station to station is part of the activity and, even though you aren't aware of it, part of the fun.
It would be helpful to let participants know that:
*A cycle is a set of events that repeat in the same order.
*In a water cycle, each droplet of water takes its own path through the cycle
*Students will roll the die at the station. If more than one student is at a station, students will need to take turns rolling the die. Students should read the number on the die and match it to the chart on the sheet on the table. (Show and demonstrate an example.) The chart will indicate where to go next.
This is written for a classroom, but I played it (as I indicated above) outside at a cub camp out years ago. Pair with a partner (sibling, friend, parent) - one reads, one rolls the die. This is also good for a Pre-Opening game, since there is no defined beginning or end and is played individually.
