There are a number of items you can make at home for your cabin’s Field Day experience. Remember to make enough for all the possible number of students in your cabin (usually no more than 12!) and one more for your Cabin Partner.
Head Bands:
Using either pieces of paper or cloth cut strips 2-3 inches wide and three feet long. In the center of each strip place your symbol or message. You may use paints, inks or the dreaded puffy paint. Remember these may get wet or sweaty, so test them to make sure they won’t run or stain. An easy variation of the Headband is the Crown. Burger King gives away crowns for free! You can turn them inside out and write on them to your hearts content.
Nametag Strings
Bring shoelace, or fabric or some other item that can be comfortably worn and strung through the holes in a nametag.
Sashes
Use fabric such as bed sheets or a similarly easily cut fabric to make strips six inches wide by four feet long. Drape them over each students' left shoulder and safety pin together by their right hip. you can write on them or sew on a patch.
Thrift Store Unity
You’d be amazed how cheaply neckties, similarly colored shirts, hats, or other inexpensive items from thrift stores can become unification emblems!
