Leadership Considerations:
1. Many children find enjoyment in this activity once they begin thinking of things they
can bring with them camping. Therefore, you might consider providing hints initially,
then allow the children to play the activity until they can no longer think of things
that begin with the first letter of their names.
2. Adaptation: Children diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder often experience
anger control issues. According to the DSM V, children with ODD are not aggressive
toward people or property, but do demonstrate a pattern of having angry and
irritable moods, are argumentative, and sometimes, vindictive. To adapt this activity
for participants diagnosed with ODD, one might provide more hints earlier on, but
not too many hints, so that they can work on issues of anger control and frustration
tolerance. Positive reinforcement can be given as participants remain focused and
participate actively and appropriately throughout the activity.
