Gathering Activity: Puzzle

Materials:
·         Puzzle the boys can put together
Set the puzzle up on its own table and as the boys begin to gather direct them to the puzzle until everyone arrives.

Game: The Gingerbread Man

Have everyone sit in a circle. The leader silently picks one chair to be the oven chair. The den is now the bakery and one person is the gingerbread man next. Can you figure out who it will be next?
·         Remembering who was sitting in the designated chair. All the cubs have to get up and change chairs to try to capture the Gingerbread Man.
·         The leader then asks, “Do you know who will be the gingerbread man next”?
·         Let the boys guess by pointing at the cubs sitting around the circle.
·         The leader now points to the student who WAS sitting in the ‘Oven’.
·         Can the boys figure out why it was this person?
·         The leader needs to remember who is sitting in the ‘Oven’ in THIS round and let the cubs get up and change chairs again.
·         The game continues until someone figures out the pattern.
·         The answer to the question, “Do you know who will be the gingerbread man next?” is the person who was sitting in the oven chair in the PREVIOUS round.  

Game: I Like People Who…

Everyone needs a place marker to stand on – tape, rubber spot or even a chalk mark.
Everyone forms a circle and stands on their spot. One cub is in the middle, his spot is removed. He calls out “I like people who . . .”
Suggestions: like camping, eat cereal for breakfast, love Brownies. Anyone who falls into that category must change places with another person in the circle to whom the statement applies. “It” tries to get a spot also and the person who is left in the middle makes the next statement. You may not take a space next to you!
