Going Bonkers

The kids will be coming home talking about Bonkers. According to the kids, this is the greatest game ever! I will do the best I can to explain the game!

First off you have the "bonkers". These crazy dressed counselors run after the campers and try to bonk them with a swim noodle. If a camper gets bonked, the bonkers makes his/her mark on the camper and the camper is frozen until a medic comes to cure them. Hence the markers all over their arms and face - it is washable so you may have to have them take a long bath when they get home tomorrow!

 

 

 

The campers, while trying avoid the "bonkers" are on the run looking for stations. The goal is to hit all stations - getting their paper signed at each as proof. The trick is that there can only be 3 people in line at each station - if there is no room they need to keep running. At each station, the campers are asked to do some weird stunt, such as....getting a half an oreo from your forehad to your mouth without using your hands.

 

After being "bonked" you must call for a Medic.  The Medic is also a counselor who will ask you to do an act before they cure you. Things could include saying the alphabet, singing a song or having the camper say they are the best counselor around!

Counselors hide in bushes, in trees or behind structures.  The kids must find all the counselors, do the trick and get their papers signed to win.
