Kids Camera Challenge

25 October, 2011 at 11:59 Posted on Planning 0 31

We are having 20 kids to our day and although we have a children's entertainer she's only up until the night do so I've nabbed this camera challenge idea off here and just started thinking about it. I've already bought some disposable cameras.. Going to print the challenges off via Vistaprint and do little tick boxes so they can see which bit they've completed... Also I'm going to put the kids into teams. So far I've got:

1. A picture of your team! (so I can identify who's pictures are who's haha)
2. Someone eating a cup cake
3. A lady dancing
4. The bride
5. The groom
6. Flowers
7. Your family
8. A man with a beard (the only one we've got is OHs brother who is hugely grumpy so will love 20 kids taking pictures of him tee hee!)

Anymore ideas? I think the cameras have 26 pictures on them so could do with a few more...

    Not really related to the photo challenge but...could you get the children to draw a picture of the bride and groom with any crayons/etc you might be providing. Might be nice to complement your own childrens' attempts at wedding invitation pictures (are you going ahead with that?).

    May I suggest, a picture with/of the photographer(s)?

    We had a fab time over the weekend getting involved with the kids at a wedding we were photographing. It was great seeing them involved with the photography and letting them have a go- all the better if they have their own cameras to do it with though!

    Also, just another point to add, from a photographers perspective.

    It may be best to stick to informal or quirky shots for the photo challenge, such as the man with a beard suggestion (love that one!) rather than the crucial photo moments (like a cake cutting). Simply because it can be difficult enough as a photographer trying to make sure aunt pat doesn't jump in front of the camera or get in shot, let alone having 30 kids diving in trying to get the same shot. I'm just thinking of your tog, some love kids and wont mind at all, some will hate it.

    Well, to move away from having children trying to get in your first dance, how about:

    A little kiss?

    A big hug?

    A pair of shiny shoes?

    A stripey shirt?

    (Not my ideas, all hail Queen Martha).

    He he, is that a prompt?

    Our theme was song lyrics, I have a spreadsheet of loads of them. They are mostly indie rock type stuff though.


    Everyone's place setting was different.


    Lots of signs around the place. Signs, signs everywhere.

    Me too! I love it we also have about 20 kids too ranging from 3 - 14! So this is a great idea as they can all use a camera! I was going to ask my mum to put together activity packs (she's a retired teacher) But this is SO much better and less effort on Mum's part :o) I may still have little bits for them on the table tho :o)

    I have a copy if the I Spy game on publisher, it prints off 2 to an A4 page and I printed it on to card in colour, it looks fab if i do say so myself!

    I also have an activity book, mainly coulouring in but a few maze games and a wordsearch also on publisher for priniting on to card, if anyone wants me to email these to them for printing just let me know ?

    xx
