The climax of Caleb and the Incredible Counting Machine sees Caleb and his friends take to the skies in a modified VW camper van. Here are a couple of activities that capture the excitement of the moment!

Activity 1 – The Great Escape

I have taken one of the illustrations in the book and turned it into a game you can play with a friend. One of you is the camper van trying to get away from the castle, and the other takes the role of the soldiers who are trying to shoot it down with their bows and arrows!

Can you guide the camper van to safety before being hit too many times?

Activity 2 – Colouring Picture

Have fun colouring this picture! I have left off the soldiers, so you may want to add some on the castle walls. Do send me a scan of your final picture at the email address on the about page – I would love to see it!
