Wide Game

A Wide Game is a game Guides play that is played over a wide area, usually takes at least and hour, is often interspersed by a number of tasks they have to complete, and ideally, follows a theme.
Our game was based on the Frozen theme.   Patrols had to construct a flag pole and hoist a patrol flag, build a shelter and then finally make modderkoekies in the kitchen.

Due to lack of observation skills (not very Guide-like),   I had been under the impression that the kitchen contained a microwave.   It did not.   So my new helper, Chocolate Bear, had to improvise using the stove and 2 pots which Brown  Bear and I groped around for in the dark garage where camping equipment is stored while Michael held up the broken door.
The girls had great fun and asked whether we could do it again the next week!
