Directions

• Throughout the week, campers keep their ears open for memorable lines. These might be:
  • Funny moments (“I can’t believe I just ate five marshmallows in a row!”)
  • Sweet comments (“This is the best Shabbat I’ve ever had”)
  • Deep thoughts (“It’s not about winning Yom Sport, it’s about the friends you make playing”)
• Quotes can be written on a shared “Quote Board” in the bunk or submitted privately to a counselor.
• At the end of the week, gather the bunk to read the collected quotes out loud. Take time to laugh, reflect, and remember the moments behind the words.

Group Reflection:

• Which quote made you laugh the hardest?
• Which quote felt the most meaningful?
• What do these quotes tell us about our bunk this week?

Optional Twist:

• For extra fun, choose a few quotes to reenact. Campers can:
  • Dramatically perform the scene where the quote happened.
  • Act it out in a silly or exaggerated way.
  • Switch roles so the speaker becomes the listener and vice versa.
