Kids can participate in a variety of games, from the strategy-driven Mockingjay Scavenger Hunt and the Fortress Build competition, to the innovative Capitol Fashion Show and Peeta's Bakery Challenge. The night also includes action-packed activities like Tracker Jacker Tag, Archery Knockdown, and the Athlete Games Final Challenge with events such as Pool Noodle Javelin and Paper Airplane Toss.
