Some who are reading this can tell me who Watto is or what famous bar houses thieves, bandits and bounty hunters from around the galaxy, but for those that cannot, do not fear. This toolkit is for fans of all types and maybe some that don’t know they are fans yet. Star Wars is more than just a movie which is why you can see it referenced in our everyday lives. It is something that brings families together, creates friendships, inspires kids and adults to dream and takes people to a world outside their own imagination. This toolkit was created to bring camps an opportunity to converge universes in the name of fun, with a bit of learning mixed in too. The four core values of the YMCA – caring, respect, honesty and responsibility –sound like modern day Jedi teachings and through games, crafts and other tools Lucasfilm hopes to build upon those teachings. With games like Escape the Death Star, campers will use teamwork to infiltrate the Empire’s massive vattle station and track down vital data while avoiding Imperial attention, or in craft-like games like Yoda Finger Puppet, campers get a chance to use their crafting skills and then show off their work and imagination. Whether your camp is a day or week long, our hope is that through the Star Wars characters and environments, kids will get a chance to grow and learn and have a great time doing it!

I hope this is the toolkit you were seeking. Have a blast this summer! Your Friends at LucasFiLm

hI and thank you for your Interest

In the star Wars CamP tooLkIt!

deaCtIvatIon

taG

set-uP:

• Designate and mark off a reactor chamber area • Pick two kids to start off as the Jedi team

• instruct the rest of the kids to play as droids

SHORT GAMES

GoaL:

two droids need to make it all the way to the reactor chamber without being deactivated (frozen) by a Jedi. the Jedi keep the galaxy safe by deactivating as many dangerous droids as they can by tagging their power boxes.

(5)

Game PLay

at the start of the game, challenge the droids to walk like robots while working together to get two of their team members inside the reactor chamber. once a droid is deactivated (frozen) they are unable to move until two droids reach the reactor chamber. The Jedi try to thwart the droid plan by running around and deactivating (tagging) as many droids as possible. Once two droids make it safely into the reactor chamber, all the deactivated droids are powered up and can move again. the two droids that succeeded become the Jedi team and the game can be played again.

droId dIsasters

(for 3-5 year oLds)

SHORT GAMES

GoaL:

R2-D2 and C-3PO have gotten themselves into danger again and your campers are their only hope!

JedI CommunICator

SHORT GAMES

GoaL:

The lead counselor has received a very important transmission from the Jedi temple and the padawans’ mission is to pass along the message to their other padawan team members without distorting the signal. each Padawan can only say the message once.

set-uP:

(9)

dIreCtor’s notes:

This game can also be used as a competition – split up into teams and the team that gets the most right wins. Also, extra points or tie breaker can be given to a team that remembers one of the previous transmissions.

Game PLay

The game begins when the lead counselor whispers a “Jedi cookie” to the first Padawan in the group. That Padawan turns to the Padawan to their right and whispers the transmission in their ear and so on. The final Padawan to receive the transmission has to stand up and say the transmission out loud. The goal is for the final transmission to be the same as the original Jedi cookie as transmitted from the Jedi Temple.

JedI CookIes

• a lesson learned is a lesson earned

• Overconfidence is the most dangerous form of carelessness • The first step to correcting a mistake is patience • a true heart should never be doubted • believe in yourself or no one else will • no gift is more precious than trust • sometimes accepting help is harder than offering it

• it is the quest for honor that makes one honorable

• easy isn’t always simple • searching for the truth is easy. accepting the truth is hard • a wise leader knows when to follow

• courage makes heroes, but trust builds friendships

(10)

droId armIes attaCk

SHORT GAMES

GoaL:

to defeat the opposing droid army. Your mission is to secure the opposing team’s general by taking their power source and capturing them.

set-uP:

socks act as power source and are tucked in the back of players’ shorts.

separate players into teams and have the counselors as the droid army generals and senate representatives. (Different color yarn works great to distinguish teams)

(11)

ruLes of enGaGement

1.

2.

Your identification color on your wrist must be visible at all times.

3.

You cannot be taken prisoner in your own territory.

(Only a general may run from base if chased but must stay in territory).

4.

Prison breaks only happen when a friendly team player runs into the prison untouched.

5.

A fallen general means that a bell rings and all

armies return to their home base.

6. If a general is defeated then their army changes

colors and joins the conquering army.

You will receive your new color when you report after the bell rings.

7.

Senate representatives are untouchable at all times and decide conflicts.

8.

Boundaries are marked with lines and hunting tape around trees.

9.

Non-vanquished generals must stay in original areas.

10.

Generals must stay in original sector.

11. Jailers must be hit by water balloons or

(12)

JedI steaLth

SHORT GAMES

GoaL:

To recover the Jedi holocron and/or be the last Jedi caught.

(13)

dIreCtor’s notes:

Stealth can be used as a standalone evening game by adding multiple rounds, as time filler or as a part of the Planetary Olympics.

ConCLusIon:

team of Jedi with the most points wins the round.

teams are aWarded PoInts for:

Holocron Recovery: 150 points

Last five Jedi caught: Fifth: 15 points Fourth: 20 points Third: 25 points Second: 30 points

Last Jedi caught: 75 points

set uP:

Define a perimeter prior to beginning the game. at least one acre of land is recommended to play the game; the more wooded the better.

all campers, or Jedi, are arranged in equal size groups. you can have as many groups as needed but we recommend a minimum of ten Jedi per group. counselors, playing the roles of imperial troopers, are opposing the groups and serve as defenders of the holocron but not in the area of holocron itself. their goal is to tag all Jedi.

a holocron (can be any type of small object, preferably cube-shaped) is hidden in a wide open, accessible space. The holocron is not guarded by imperial players, although they are prowling the area of play.

those captured are sent back to their team’s pre-determined starting point (base) until the round is complete.

(14)

Bounty hunter

round-uP

LONG GAMES

GoaL:

this is a Star Wars-based counselor hunt game where campers play bounty hunters attempting to round up all counselors who are dressed as characters from the

Star Wars universe. The tournament

is sponsored by Jabba the hutt. han solo is the highest prize.

set-uP:

each cabin group shall play bounty hunters on a mission to capture as many wanted personnel as possible. the group with the most captures wins. * expLaining the game anD basiC RUles ahead oF time is recommended.

(15)

Game set-uP:

1. Provide each cabin with a list of “Wanted” for

them to search for.

• List the names and brief descriptions of the wanted on the check list

note: If possible, take pictures of staff in their

costumes and print in wanted posters to add to the effect.

2. Game twist: See to it that a few counselors

(or campers, if there are not enough counselors) are assigned Imperial guards or stormtroopers for taking bounty hunters into custody. Create a memory maze, give Star Wars trivia quiz or create different time-delays for captured bounty hunters to escape.

3. Have ‘locals’ offer clues of the location of high-value bounties. These locals would be two or three

stationary characters.

4. Have some locals offer a side job for bounty hunters of causing breakouts of the captured wanted.

• A breakout is caused by running into the holding area and tagging a held prisoner. It can only be done by free players not captured.

5. Prisoners are brought to the jail where the wanted list is signed and payment is given to the bounty

hunter team

6.

Boundaries of area are determined for camp play. Mark your boundaries with spray paint, ribbons, maps, and/or counselors staged on the perimeter, then explain boundaries and staying together as a cabin group rules to the campers.

7.

Need a base/prison to return captives to and to give cabin groups credit for capture (i.e. Basketball court).

8.

You could change the game by creating a flip time where counselors are allowed to chase and round up campers in an area. They could place campers in a memory maze to escape first before returning to play.

(16)

attentIon Bounty hunters:

The Empire and the rebels are paying high prices for individuals of interest. And who better to collect than our brethren in the bounty hunter line of work?

Included is a list of “wanted” individuals. Payment differs for each. Make a capture and return them to the processing station holding cell for payment.

Some locals may help you locate the “wanted” or may even provide some side opportunities.

bewaRe! The Empire has some local patrols out,

so keep your head down and avoid capture. Good luck and keep track of who you turn in because you can’t capture the same person twice. To make things more interesting the bounty hunter group with the most captured will be named Bounty Hunter

Team of the Galaxy.

By the way… Jabba the Hutt is backing the round-up and is providing a huge payment for bringing in the smuggler, Han Solo.

Give him a rough time…

dear CaBIn

_______________

We are preparing to launch an attack on the Death Star, but we still need to confirm some information obtained through transmissions to Princess Leia. Recently, Princess Leia was returned to us by an impressive escape. We are asking you to now return to the Death Star.

We can’t ask our onboard spies to get the files we need. But you may find some help on the Death Star from some of our agents. They will have a special code on their badges for you to recognize. We will provide you with the last four digits to identify our agents. They should have a way to help guide you around the Death Star! Find them and get their help.

Princess Leia’s droid (R2-D2) left a coded file in the mainframe computer (the identifying file label will be provided) and she left a data disk in the trash compactor in which she and her comrades were briefly trapped. We need both.

We have captured an Imperial shuttle craft and your team will use it to enter the Death Star impersonating an equipment relief crew. ID number: TK-421.

Once on the station you need to locate a computer terminal next to hangar bay and download the file left by the Princess’s droid, R2D2.

Locate the trash compactor room and search for the data disk and retrieve it.

Then you will have to get to the tractor beam room and disengage the tractor beam, and lastly you will have to avoid capture, and if captured, escape. You should be able to blend in. But Imperial personnel are suspicious and on high alert after the Princess’s escape. Avoid Lord Vader at all costs!

Your file will confirm the plans we are using to stage the attack on the Death Star. The Empire would never expect us to return to the station after the Princess’s spectacular escape.

You have two lunar cycles to complete your mission before we launch the attack with or without confirmation.

Good luck and May the Force be with you.

(28)

dear CaBIn,

Word has reached us that General Obi-Wan Kenobi, the famous Jedi from the Clone Wars, was killed on the Death Star by Lord Vader. It is believed he lived in hiding on the planet Tatooine all these years somewhere near the Dune Sea.

Princess Leia has requested that your team go back to Tatooine and track down General Kenobi’s home. In it is a chest of holocrons containing Jedi history and knowledge. If the Jedi are ever to return to their place as guardians of peace and justice as they were in the Old Republic, that information will be essential.

The Empire is on high alert and it will not be easy to navigate Tatooine. Don’t forget that it is also a hotspot for pirates and crime lords. You will have Imperial troopers, sand people and outlaws to avoid as you search the local population for clues as to where Kenobi resided.

Afterwards you will have to find your own transportation off-planet. Security is too tight to drop you off and re-land to pick you up. Acquire transport to sector Ds45g in the Tatooine system and we will meet you there. Good luck. Be resourceful to earn the funds you need for transport after you complete your mission.

1. find general kenobi’s home and retrieve the holocrons, 2. make your way to the space port and negotiate a transport off-planet. 3. you may have to use your wits and trade for credits and or earn credits from the locals. we will provide you with some tech items you can trade, or sell for credits to buy passage. Remember to trade and barter. Trade up for higher value and earn credits. 4. avoid capture and escape if captured. Do not fail to return the holocrons to the Rebel fleet. Good luck!

GamePLay

• each cabin/ group will first be required to acquire a galaxy map in pieces by

questioning wandering characters (Star Wars characters played by staff). after questioning and performing required tasks or requests (use trivia or sith, Jedi, droid game), the wandering characters will present them with a map piece.

• Create three maps (notated by color) versions with different start stations to stagger the padawan groups.

• once the galaxy map is competed the Padawan group must complete each station of the Jedi trials as a team, helping

each other. • after a Padawan group has completed all the Jedi Trial stations they will go as a group to check in with master yoda (at a central camp location). yoda will log the time of arrival for each Padawan group to determine the fastest padawan team. all the padawan groups will be “winners” as they have worked together to complete the Jedi trials.

LONG GAMES

JedI trIaLs

set-uP:

for overnight camps, send letters to campers the day or night before informing them that they will represent Padawans divided into three basic color teams. each padawan group is trying to locate and compete in the Jedi trials. each group will be scored in order of completion. The overall winner of the Jedi trials is the team whose group/cabin has the fastest total completion time when checking in with master Yoda.

materIaLs

• a Star Wars map cut into pieces (overlay your camp map onto the Star Wars map and color code with three different starting locations for the three different Padawan groups) • various materials to create the Jedi Trail stations • station sheets for the counselors with the color coded appropriate next trial location

GoaL:

The path to becoming a Jedi is tough but one that every padawan must complete. padawan groups must use the Force and work together to complete each Jedi trial to learn master yoda’s location.

note: Starting with the “build your own lightsaber” craft

is a great way to begin this game giving campers a chance to get into character.

naBoo Water ChaLLenGe:

“Ignore your instincts at your peril”

• Mark a few tennis balls with special markings and drop several into the pool. Groups will have to jump in the pool and help each other find the special marked ball.

• Once the group has found the special marked ball then they will have completed the station and receive the next location clue.

GeneraL CamPer safety:

• Cabin groups must travel together or they are out of the game.

• Wandering characters (counselors) are spread out for supervision coverage.

• Clearly marked boundaries and some staff assigned at borders.

• Younger cabins assigned a CIT or Junior counselor.

LIGhtsaBer

thIs Is a Great Way to start

your CamP

since all Padawans in

the star Wars galaxy must first learn the

power of wielding a lightsaber and then

in a very ceremonious event, must seek

out the crystal that is meant to be theirs

and build their lightsaber using great

care and the force.

aBout the LIGhtsaBer

The lightsaber is the weapon of a Jedi, an elegant weapon of a more civilized age. In comparison, blasters are crude, inaccurate and loud affairs. To carry a lightsaber is an example of incredible skill and confidence, dexterity and attunement to the Force. In the hands of a Jedi, a lightsaber is almost unstoppable. It can be used to cut through blast doors or enemies alike. Using the Force, a Jedi can predict and deflect incoming blaster bolts, and reflect them back at the firer.

Although use of the lightsaber is the mark of a Jedi – the only ones capable of handling the difficult weapon – it is also used by their sworn enemies, the Sith.

ARTS & CRAFTS

LIGhtsaBers:

Mark the center of the pool noodle, and cut in half with a serrated knife. Each pool noodle will make two lightsabers.

Cover the cut end of the pool noodle with two short strips of duct tape. Once the end is covered, form the hilt of the lightsaber by wrapping approximately 6”-8” of the pool noodle with duct tape.

Use the black electrical tape and additional gray duct tape to create custom designs on the lightsaber hilt. Each lightsaber can be different. Use your imagination and have fun!

marBLe maGnets

1 What you need:

• small Star Wars images

• Craft glue that dries clear (silicone-based is best) • white paper • scissors or ½” scrapbooking hole puncher • Craft stick • ½” round (strong) magnets • Clear, flat marbles (usually found in the fake-flower area of the craft store)

• clear nail polish

Glue the images that you wish to use for your magnet to white paper. This will prevent the black magnet from being seen through your image. After it dries, cut your image out a second time now that it has a white paper backing. You will want it to be a circle about half an inch wide.

tIP:

If you don’t want to use scissors, get a special craft hole puncher that punches half-inch holes (found in the scrapbook section of the craft store). Hole punchers make it easier for you to make a bunch of magnets at a time, but either method will work.

After you cut the image you want into a half-inch circle, set it aside. Next, put a small bead of glue on the craft stick. Then take one of the round magnets and carefully dab the glue onto one side with the craft stick, then place your cut-out image on top of the glue. You want your image to be facing up.

Now put a small amount of glue on the stick. This time, dab the glue in the middle of the flat side of a marble. Then place the glue-sided marble on top of your image on the magnet. Gently press down so that any air bubbles disappear.

Let dry. Paint the back of the magnet with clear fingernail polish so you won’t leave any black marks from the magnets on the fridge or your locker.

Decide which planet you would like to make. What does that planet’s environment look like? Is it a desert? Is it tropical or cold?

Use construction paper or paint to decorate the inside walls of the box you are using for your diorama. The inside of the box is your environment, so you can give it a sky, land, water, or whatever else belongs on your planet.

Once you have decorated the walls of your box, think about what you want to have inside your environment. People and creatures can be drawn on construction paper or cut out of magazines. Make them stand up with creating a tab at the bottom and gluing the tab to the diorama.

Arrange all the items inside the diorama and make sure you are happy with the way they look. Create the look of depth by placing some items in the front of the diorama and some in the back.

When you are happy with your arrangement, glue everything in place.

• scissors

• Fake fur in white, brown, and beige

• Chenille stems/pipe cleaners • Colored felt squares (brown, beige, black, red, green, gray, tan, orange, white) • sewing needle • brown, black, gray, white thread • straight pins • Pillow stuffing • glue

Cut out bodies from the tan, green, and white felt for your finger puppets. Sew the bodies together so that you have basic finger puppet bodies to work with.

Stick pipe cleaners inside the puppet arms to make them bendy. Cut out hands from scrap felt and sew onto the ends of the arms. You can stitch in fingers for more detail.

If you are making a furry character, such as Muftak, cut the fake fur to cover the basic body pattern you have sewn. Cover the body, front and back, with the fake fur and glue it to the basic body. You can sew the sides for extra durability. Now cut out more fur to cover the head, allowing it to overlap the body fur a little bit to add some extra dimension. Glue the fur to the basic body’s head and sew the sides if you wish.

You’ll be using felt for the head of your puppet. Be sure to match up the color of your felt with the skin color of your alien. Greedo is green and Bith are off-white. Now look at the head shape of the Cantina alien you wish to make. Bith band members have oval heads. Greedo’s head almost looks like the letter Q! Cut out these shapes from various colored pieces of felt depending on their skin color. Match them up with the basic bodies you’ve already sewn together. Glue the head shapes to the front and back of the puppets to give them more of a 3-D look. Sew the sides if you wish. Add stuffing to the head of the basic body as well.

CANTINA CHARACTER FINGER PUPPETS

Look closely at the costumes each of the Cantina characters is wearing. Cut out the fronts and backs of the clothes you wish to place on your puppets from the felt. Make basic T-shirt, robe, and jacket shapes. You can either glue or sew the costumes on the fronts and backs of your puppets. Always be sure to not sew your puppet shut; you want to be still be able to get your fingers in the opening.

Time to give your puppets faces. This is where you give your puppets their expressions and other details that bring them to life. Glue on googly eyes and tiny felt triangles for mouths. Other puppets will require more specific details. Make Bith eyes from medium-sized black felt circles. Cut out a small square, fold it in half, and attach to Greedo’s face for his nose. His antennai can be made by making two small cones from felt, and his ears are simply cut from felt and attached. Use black beads for Greedo’s eyes! Glue four googly eyes to Muftak’s head and give him a long white felt nose.
