About 6000 years ago, the last glacier retreated from this area, leaving behind 5 glittering jewels. You’ll love exploring rocks and sand, watching waves, telling stories, and learning about life in the lakes. You might even start wondering what we’d do without this awesome resource. Try these six adventures:

• Way Back When: Listen to a Native American legend and sing a song of the voyageurs. You’ll be inspired to tell your own story about the lakes!

• Rock Paper Scissors: Find out how this game is really played between rocks, wind, and water. See if you can find the smallest rock on the beach.

• Playing Lightly on the Beach: Challenge your friends or family to some quiet games that make use of stuff lying around on the beach.

• Swish Swash: Watch the waves out on the lake. You’ll want to dive in and see if you can figure out why they “break” and how they move the sand around.

• Lake Life: After you search for signs of life, relax with a game of “Go Fish.” It’s the familiar game with a new twist!

• Imagine - No lakes!: Search the waterfront and the backroads until you find lots of ways that people depend on the Great Lakes.
