Here is a fun idea:

Decorate the library like the arena from The Hunger Games, and have a series of questions (that the librarians have gathered from survival guides and other training books) that the "tributes" can answer.  If there are a lot of tributes, the librarians could even divide them into "districts" and let them compete as a team.  If not, each tribute could play as an individual.

Examples of questions can be found at the Scholastic Hunger Games website.

A co-worker, Doreen, suggested a game: remember the part in the book

where the kid stays to protect the food the rich kids have stocked up

on? Have the "food/supplies" in the middle or end of a room and have the

kids race to get one of the items and back to their designated spot.

Whomever gets back last is eliminated.

How about camo face painting?  Depending on time teams could work as

game masters to

design an arena (maybe diorama style).  What about something on

wilderness survival

and/or edible plants?  I know I kept thinking that there was no way I

would be able

to find food!  You could maybe use info from The Worst Case Survival

Handbook or

contact a scout leader.

 

If you subscribe to YALSA-BK there was a recent thread about this, you

may want to

check the archives.

 

Have fun!
