| Rock Party | Games and Activities:
Mummy Wrap: One roll of toilet paper per child; Form teams and let them wrap each other up.
Archaeological Dig:
Need: Hand trowels, sand screen.
Using your sand pit, bury fossils, pieces of pottery, Indian arrow heads, other items from different cultures/ eras (put modern things in too).
Let your kids carefully dig them up, and sort them into the culture they belong. (instead of using "real" items, you could make mini-replicas from Fimo or Sculpy clays)
Rock Search:
Have a bag of rocks for each child hidden and give them a map to follow to the site of the hidden rocks.
Create 'boxes' for the rocks with indexes for each separate rock.
Fossil Find:
Bake fossils or tiny items into play dough.
You may hide them around or in the sand and let the kids find them.
Then they will need to crack them open.
Use the above baked play dough idea, but tie the balls of baked play dough (with prizes inside) to yarn and wrap the yarn around furniture and other balls with yarn and call it a "labyrinth".
Consider navigating mazes is another skill an archeologist needs to know!
