Garbage Pick-Up
Kids clean-up game.
I hand out grocery (trash) bags (or even just have them collect the trash in their hands) to all the kids in the group & make a game of picking up any trash (generally not ours, but actually there when we arrived) around the campsite before we leave. I might offer a prize (like a candy bar) to the first one to bring me 10 pieces of trash. The kids happily run around picking up all the little pieces of trash (it's truly a great way to get all the bottle caps, little scraps, etc picked up). The kids don't even realize they are "cleaning up" since it's so much like a game! I remember learning as a Girl Scout... "leave the place cleaner than you found it".
