SUMMARY:Outdoors More Around the World
DESCRIPTION:Get Outdoors Around the World Challenge!\nThis month’s country is GERMANY!\nCome play and enjoy the outdoors! We will make a Schultute/Schultuten to take home. A Schultute is a cone shaped gift decorated and filled with sweets\, school supplies\, and gifts\, usually given to children on their first day of school.\nParticipants will meet at Liberty Park and we will play:\nHiding Sardines: This German game is called ‘Sardinen’. A kid is chosen to hide while the others have to find him. They have to count\, up to 30\, in which time the kid hides. When anyone finds the kid\, they have to hide with him. One by one the others join the first kid in the hiding place. This continues till the last one finds the hiding place. It’s a whole lot of fun if it is combined with dim lights so that the hide and seek game becomes even more challenging.\nThe Cat and Mouse: In Germany\, this game is called ‘Katz (cat) and Maus'(mouse). Here\, one of the players is the cat while the other the mouse\, and the rest form a circle. The objective is that the cat has to catch the mouse. The mouse can run anywhere―into and out of the circle. There is an added element of fun introduced because the circle sometimes allows the mouse to enter and at other times blocks him. When the mouse is caught\, there are chits drawn to decide who the next cat and mouse will be.\nWE WILL USE your email for updates & possible changes due to weather.\nReap the benefits of outdoor play with Batesville Library’s Get Outdoors Around the WORLD challenge. This program is designed to give your family ideas to get outdoors more. There will be MONTHLY PROGRAMS/CHALLENGES with the focus on what other Countries do “outdoors” to have fun. \nAfter REGISTERING your family below you will receive a cinch sack\, journal\, tracker sheet and PASSPORT at the program if you have not received your just ask. You can join anytime throughout the year.\nPassports will be stamped anytime at the library. At each program participants will get a “Country” with a list of outdoor tasks to complete. Once ALL the tasks are complete for that Country\, bring your sheet and Passport into the library to get stamped and pick up your small prize. \n**By registering\, you will receive a few emails listing other outdoor events around the area from local parks and other community groups. \nChallenge runs from JANUARY 1 to December 1\, 2025. \nWe will have a special gathering at the END of the challenge for all who try to complete the challenge. \nREGISTER below by FAMILY name and # number of family members participating. Each month you will need to register for the next program.
