Two Truths and a Lie
This is a great getting to know you activity. You don't have to go through all students in one day - and can stretch this game over several days. You can even have several rounds if you want to play this everyday throughout camp.

Have students create three statements about themselves on their wikispaces (mccomputerprogramming.wikispaces.com) page (Two of the statements are true and one of the statements is a lie. Have Student A share their three statements. Use three different corners of the room for each statement, if you think Statement 1 is a lie - go stand by the door, if you think Statement 2 is a lie, stand by the back window, and if you think Statement 3 is a lie go stand by the front wall.

I Have / You Have
Download the pdf files off of [|MathWire.com]. Choose the difficulty of the math based on the level of your students. Cut each card and hand out all cards to students. You can either keep one for yourself and start the game - or assign a student to read their card. This is a great game for math skills - but also LISTENING skills. To add some excitement - have them try and make an entire round in less than 2 minutes. (Classroom timer)
