Planning a camping trip with your family? Maybe you’re a camp counselor looking for some games to play with the kids? If you get your internet through places like CannonSatellite.com then chances are you might have heard about the Snipe Hunt. While there is an actual animal called a snipe, that is not at all what the activity refers to.
Here’s what you do:
1. Wait until nightfall. Only when it’s dark will the full effect of the ruse be felt by your unsuspecting comrades.
2. Establish boundaries. You don’t want your kids running all over creation in the dark. Make sure they know the limit of the hunting area. Come up with some story about how snipes like this particular area, but be convincing.
3. Come up with a silly ritual that is required to capture the snipe. This can involve banging rocks together, making strange hooting noises, etc. Have fun with it.
4. Set them loose in search of the alleged snipe. Sure, it’s a ruse, but it’s harmless fun and your children will have a blast searching for the snipe.
And for an added level of fun, have something large handy and toss it down a hill or in a bed of dry leaves when your searchers aren’t looking. Then tell them that the sound they heard was the snipe.
