76) Elephant Hunt (or Squeegie Hunt)*

Supplies
*colored paper
*elephant stencil (can find silouettes on the internet to use as stencils)
*scissors

Preparation
Cut out elephants (or change the animal if you wish)(I'd suggest a minimum of twenty). Hide them all around (in trees, under rocks- partly visible, etc)

How to Play
Split group into teams (cabins, classes, etc). Tell them that the elephants are endangered, and that their job is to find them, and bring them to safety. They must stay with their groups, and must be back by a given time, or they lose points. Each elephant that the team rescues is worth a point.

Alternative
A "Squeegie" is an imaginary animal. You can design it to look however you want, making only one. Hide it where it can eventually be found, but where it won't be obvious. The participants will bring back elephants, but whoever finds the squeegie, gets extra points.

2nd Alternative: make one squeegie for each team, each a different color. Each team must find the squeegie that is their team's color. Hide them together, so that each group has an equal chance. All teams that find their squeegie, get the extra points. Send a responsible adult with these groups to ensure they don't take or hide the other squeegies.
