ACTIVITIES AND GAMES AROUND THE WATER

The youth welfare office of the town of Bad Oeynahusen is organising another two-week long holiday games event for 130 children between the ages of 6 and 13, who will be looked after and supervised with the help of both the ijgd group and locals. This year, everything is based on the topic of water. Together the children will not only experience what can be done with water, but they will research it during an adventurous journey to the bottom of the sea and even be amazed by the underwater creatures: what would it be like to actually meet a mermaid or to catch a glimpse of a sea monster? On their journey, the children will learn how to become daring pirates or good sailors. For this they have to undertake many difficult quests i they ll go on a treasure hunt where numerous exciting games and crafts activities are waiting for them.
