Hi Folks
I've kind of been press ganged into doing two, two hour sessions with some kids at the beginning of the school holidays but as it approaches I'm getting less and less confident and need to have some set program to work to i think.
The obvious things that spring to my mind are food and fire.
I have a country park at my disposal so I thought we could forage for firelighting materials first, then go back and have a play with some firesteels, I could demo bow drill and then when our fire is lit maybe do some simple stuff like fireside bread on a stick or even just marshmallows and hot chocolate.
What do you think? Too boring? Any little frills you could suggest that might make it 'special'
Your thoughts much appreciated.
