So I have an interview at the local Wildlife Park on thursday and I am to bring a proposal on activities I can do with the kids that are going there for summer camp. They need to be animal related and somewhat education-y, but I'm currently drawing a blank at tours and face-painting. Anyone out there have any suggestions? The kids will be somewhere between 4 and 12 years old.

You ever heard of "Quiet Becaue Teacher Has A Hangover?" you give candy to whoever can sit and play quietly the longest.

How about "Let's all hunt and kill a leopard?"

It has the benefit of keeping the kids quiet (some of them perminantly) and can be adjusted to suit any animal and age range. The 4 year olds can be matched against a zebra, whilst the old kids can go up against a lion or a elephant.

Afraid not, but there are some very angry badgers out there.

I do like this idea, though there are no leopards in the park. Cheetahs would work just as well I suppose.I may or may not put this in the proposal.
