Activities for kids in a refugee camp?

simon says, soccer, uno, any card game, pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, duck duck goose, make wallets out of duct tape, leap frog, red rover (maybe too rough), hangman, a contest of who can get further with learning ( like start with 2+2 and progresively get harder), and one legged race

Capture the flag is always a fun game :) You could have them make cards or letters for someone (not necessarily a parent or family member, but anyone) and have all kinds of stuff like crayons, stickers, glue, all different colors of paper, scissors, etc. You might put down things like plastic tablecloths on the floor, then you can either just roll them up and throw them away, or roll them up to clean off later, depending on the state they are in! You could put on some fun music while doing any activity. Upbeat music does wonders with kids. Side note: try to have an option for the kids who don't want to do the main activity. I have never liked sports but was always forced to join the games. Even something as simple as a coloring sheet or some books to read. For the youngest kids: you might want to have a separate game going on for them if you have room. 4 year olds would be no match for 10 year olds in capture the flag. 12 year olds would basically run over the 5 year olds in an obstacle course. Freeze tag is fun too. :) or shadow tag for the older kids: instead of tagging the person you try to step on their shadow. Depending on the lighting this may work or not. Four corners is something I think most of the kids could play. You name the corners (1, 2, 3, 4, or A, B, C, D, etc. could be anything you want) and then give them so many seconds (ie five, ten, etc) to get to another corner (they have to change corners, they can't stay at th same one) then one person (whose back is turned) names one corner (by drawing from a hat, or just randomly picking one) and anyone in that corner is out. The game continues until only one person is out. (when it gets down to four kids, they all have to go to different corners. And at that point, it is probably best to draw from a hat so they don't think they are being picked on) I hope I helped you! :)

Simon Says and Stop Go would be fun games to play for kids of all ages. Stop and Go: All children start at the same point. One person is in charge of saying "stop" or "go." If I child fails to stop or falls, they have to start at the beginning. The first person to reach you, while following directions, wins. Then, you can have the kids start playing stop and go. Red Rover: Look it up on the internet if you don't know about this game. It's hard for me to explain.

There is the idea of separating the concepts of Nazi's and the military. More so there is definitely a difference between German citizens and the Nazi party. No not all German's where or are evil. Just ones that perpetuated it or want to hide what happened. But keep in mind, something that major and that big is not just the machinations of one man or even a handful. It was a hatred under the surface that was given a place to rise. As for the following orders, the Nuremberg trails would not accept that as a defense. For that many pp to die more people had to support it then object to it. So to support, or just stand by during genocide is indeed evil.
