I like the idea of them hacking your email in reading it. That would be *TOO* funny! Maybe they could hack my todo database and do some of my chores ;-)
These are all great ideas. I would like to encourge you to try and incorporate more actual graphics. Watching them actually reach down and pick the flowers then walk away with them is a lot more fun than just a message at the bottom "picking flowers."
Maybe one of the masteres could teach his/her craft to the youngsters. Like 3 or 4 kids would follow the adult around and learn their stuff, then when those kids group up they'd have some skill in the area??
A group yoga or tia chi class would be cute. THey could have little slow movement routines they all go though in sync.
I think building different things would be fun too. Whether or not it was a puzzle, per se. For instance a camp fire in the village center wuold be a good addition for any camp. THey'd have to fetch fire wood, of course. This might be a bit much, but how about every once in a while somebody catches a fish, carries it to the fire, then holds in on the end of a stick over the fire!
Maybe they could build a little water wheel for the creek that would spin (animated). This would create the opportunity for other additions that it would power. Grinding mill? Electric generator?
Maybe they could build a boat and two people could go fishing then (on a good day) bring home 1000 food points-worth or fish.
Walking around (as apposed to through) the vegetable garden when people are working in it would be good.
The last thing I'll add is PLEASE PLEASE have people wander off to the outskirts of the village to pass away. I keep having nursing mothers sit RIGHT NEXT to rotting corpses. That's just creepy!!
