GAME: Weathervane
Description of the Game: Group is spread out facing the leader who is
the weather bureau. The rest are weathervanes and they point with one arm in
the direction from which the wind is blowing.
·
The weather bureau announces the direction of
the wind – 4, 8 or 16 points of the compass – depending on the knowledge of the
players.
·
Players spin to point in the direction of the
wind announced by the weather bureau who announces changing directions fairly
quickly.
·
Occasionally the weather bureau will call
“cyclone!” On this announcement the weathervanes spin in circles making at
least 5 complete turns.

packs with less than 3 boys, enlist the help of the leaders and parents in

THEME ACTIVITY: Weather Knowledge
Materials Needed:
·
Copies of “Weather Knowledge” information and
worksheets for each cub
·
Pencils
As you teach about weather knowledge encourage each cub to
share one memory of an extreme storm they have lived through. Did they heed
weather warnings before the storm? Discuss what they already know about
weather.
Have the cubs file this worksheet in the “Outdoors” (Green)
section of their binders.
THEME ACTIVITY: Paddle Boats
Materials Needed:
·
Wood pieces
·
Waxed cardboard (milk or juice container)
·
Elastic bands
·
Stapler
·
Long Flat tote set up on a table in the kitchen
filled with just enough water for the boats to paddle through.
Follow the instructions given in the Cub Book on pages
138-139 to help the Cubs build paddle boats.
When the boats are all constructed allow the boys to play
with them in the tote. Ensure that they are particular about cleaning up any
messes they make in both constructing and playing with their paddle boats.
