1. 1

   Firefly signals

   Fireflies flash patterns to find each other. In a dark room, cover and uncover your charged Rechargeable Glow Stick with your hand to send a signal: 1 flash means "yes", 2 means "no", 3 means "come here". Can your partner read your answers?

2. 2

   Glow toss

   Charge the Glow Stick and lay it on the floor in a dim room. Stand 5 big steps away and take turns tossing 3 rolled-up socks. Whose sock lands closest to the glow?

3. 3

   Invent a glow creature

   Draw a deep-sea animal that makes its own light. Where are its lights, and what are they for: finding food, scaring off enemies or finding friends? Give it a name.

4. 4

   Glow hide-and-seek

   Charge your Rechargeable Glow Stick, hide it in a dark room and let the others find it.

Safety first: Never shine the UV torch in anyone's eyes. Keep coin cells away from little ones.
