Archeologist Expedition

Materials:

  • Table topped with a 3 or 4 inch tall box about 18 inches square (filled with sand or sawdust)
  • Plastic eggs filled with the awards and buried in sand
  • Archeologist costumes for 2 leaders (pith helmets, hammers, etc)
  • 1 plastic dinosaur

(As all of the eggs are in the same box, you may need to somehow color code the eggs so that you do Bobcats, then Tigers, then Wolves, etc... make sure to put all awards for one rank in the same egg)

DR. DINA: (finds dinosaur nest) Doctor Bones come look! I think I have found a rare CUBosaurus nest.

DR. BONES: By jove! I do believe you have found it!

Dr. DINA: (Digs in the sand and pulls out an egg.) Look, a rare BOBCATosaurus egg! (Shake the egg) There is something inside! (They open the egg and present the awards.)

DR. DINA: (Digs in the sand and pulls out an egg.) Look a rare TIGERosaurus egg! There is something inside! (They open it and present the awards.)

DR. BONES: (Find another egg.) I have found a rare WOLFosaurus egg! (They open it and present the awards.)

DR. DINA: (Finds another egg.) Wow, what a find! I think I have found a rare BEARosaurus egg. (They open it and present the awards.)

DR. BONES: (Finds another egg.) Fantastic, the rare WEBELOSaurus egg! (They open it and present the awards.)

DR. BONES: Could it be?! After all these years! This one is alive! (He puts his finger in the mouth of a plastic dinosaur. He waves it around for all to see. Then screams and runs off stage.)
