The Children's Passport Game

Children and their families may pick up a blank Children's Game Passport at the Children's Games area. The children and their families then take the Passport and visit the Clan & Societies area (a Clan is a Scottish family group) and stop at the different Clan booths. There the children should have their passports stamped or signed by a Clan or Scottish Society member. This is also a great opportunity to learn about the different families of Scotland.
