Default Help with a camp activity

I'm sure we'll have many kids who won't like to play this game, just as
we'll have many that won't want to play the other games either. Some of
the kids don't want to be at camp at all, they want to be at home,

watching
tv or playing video games, and they're ticked off that their parents made
them go to camp. However, not participating is not an option, in any of
the activities we do. This goes for us, the counselors, as well. If one
of the counselors starts a sing-along, the rest of us have sing too,
whether we want to or not.


So what are you going to do with 6 year olds like mine who can't play
because they don't know the characters? The ones that can't read well
enough to play well (that would cover most although not all of the 6 year
olds I know)? What will you do when a 6 year old can't understand a
question a 10 year old asks?

My daughter will be going to two camps with similar age ranges (a gymnastics
camp and a skating camp, both indoors so this shouldn't come up) and one
with a more restricted age range (an outdoor science camp).

I'd be VERY upset if my daughter was forced to participate in something she
couldn't succeed at, where her failure impacted others ability to succeed.
