I'm looking for some quiet, indoor activities for 3rd through 5th graders to play during "siesta" time at camp

Question

I'm working at an overnight camp for a week, and after lunch every day, we have siesta time, where the campers have to stay in their cabins. It's supposed to be quiet time, but from my experience, leaving my girls to their own devices is...well, needless to say, the "quiet" part doesn't happen.

I'm looking for some quiet crafts or activities for my kids to do, so if some of them actually want to nap, they can do so without hearing the squeals of the other kids in the group.

Thanks in advance (:
