Flower Matching Game

Nature Games and Activities for Church Camps

For younger campers, this game provides a good introduction to the wide diversity of flowers. It is set up as a simple matching game, in which the campers need to turn over two cards and find a matching pair of the flowers on the back. Instead of cards, we affixed photos of flowers to small log discs with a clear glue. To play the matching game with a large group, spread bottle caps (representing pollen) in a grassy area. The campers must collect five bits of pollen before they are able to make another guess at a match. The game generally moves pretty quickly, and often the campers interest is high enough that I repeat it a few times.
