Activity Details:
GATHERING ACTIVITY: Sharks
How to Play:
•
Two players join hands to become the “Shark”.
The “Shark” catches “Fish” when both players holding hands touch an individual
player at the same time. Those who are caught become part of the Shark. The
last two players caught become the Shark for the new game.
GAMES: Clear the Deck
Participants act out commands given by another. A variation
on “Simon Says”.
Directions:
Give names (relating to sections of a ship; see the list
below) to areas of a room or field. Start out slowly—four positions, a few
commands and increase difficulty level gradually.
Bow ...................................Front
of ship
Stern .................................Rear
of ship
Starboard .........................Right
side of ship
Port ...................................Left
side of ship
Admiral on Deck ..............Stand
at alert
In the Galley .....................Centre
of ship
Flag Going Up ..................Stand
at alert, Saluting
Boom Coming Over .........Lie
flat on floor
How to Play:
•
Leader calls out the positions or commands and
the Cubs run to that area or act out the command. The last Cub to react to the
instruction rolls up sleeve, pant leg, etc…no one is ever out.
GAME: Knots Relay
This game will help reinforce knowledge of knots. The object
of the game is to improve the time and speed in which the drill is completed.
Do the drill at least twice and if time permits do it a third time.
Materials:
•
One length of rope per participant.
•
One timer or stopwatch.
Preparation:
•
Give each Cub one piece of rope.
•
Have the group line up in relay formation.
How to Play:
•
The first team member runs to a designated
position and lays his/her rope on the ground, then runs to the back of line,
tagging the next team member.
•
The second team member (after being tagged) runs
to the designated position, and using a reef knot, attaches the ropes together.
The ropes are then put back on the ground and the Cub runs back to tag the next
person in line.
•
Third and subsequent team members do the same
thing.
When all Cubs have attached their ropes, the first
participant runs again, and attaches the two ends of the rope together to form
a circle. After the knot is completed, the Cub returns to the front of the
line, and the team sits down. When all team members are sitting stop the stop
watch.
THEME ACTIVITY: KNOT SKILL SESSION
Distribute instructions for the knots. Turn the time over to
the knot tying resource person to teach the:
•
Reef knot
- The Reef Knot is used in all first aid work or for joining two pieces of
string or cord of equal thickness. It is not recommended for joining rope.
•
Sheet
Bend - The Sheet Bend is the most important knot for joining two rope ends
and is especially useful when the ropes are of unequal size. A permanent loop
can be substituted for the right- hand portion of the knot.
CRAFT: Pirate/Cub Flag

to decorate the lair for the month of October.
Materials:
•

•
Black Felt

STORY: A Pirate Story
Throughout the story there are certain phrases that
have words or sounds associated with them. Assign two or three Cubs to each
phrase; teach them the words or sounds they must say every time the phrase is
spoken in the story. To make it an active story, have them stand up each time
they say their part.

The Story
Once upon a time, there was an Old Sea Pirate and his Bosun, who sailed
out on the ocean blue on their sturdy ship the Black Cloud. Far off in the
distance he could hear the Sea Gulls cry.
The Old Sea Pirate and his Bosun dropped anchor and went fast asleep,
first making sure all the hatches were secured on the Black Cloud.
Now creeping up the side of the ship, came Long John Silver and his
parrot Polly, looking for the treasure of the Old Sea Pirate and his Bosun.
Looking for Long John Silver was Croaky Crocodile, who had swallowed a clock.
Just as Long John Silver and Polly Parrot discovered the treasure chest, Croaky
Crocodile’s clock woke up the Old Sea Pirate and his Bosun, who thought it was
the Sea Gulls landing on the deck of the Black Cloud.
Well, Long John Silver grabbed hold of Polly Parrot and turned to run. In
his haste, he tripped overboard, much to the glee of Croaky Crocodile. The Old
Sea Pirate and his Bosun chased after them, but the Black Cloud rolled in the
waves, clearing the deck of the Sea Gulls, the Old Sea Pirate and his Bosun.
Now, from a very good source, I am told that the last anyone heard of all
these characters was strange sounds in the night as the Sea Gulls flew
overhead, followed by Long John Silver and Polly Parrot, chased by the Old Sea
Pirate and his Bosun, all frantically swimming away from Croaky Crocodile with
his ticking clock. While to this day, the Black Cloud is anchored far out at sea
with its treasure chest still aboard
