Gathering Activity: Christmas Maze
Materials: Mazes and pencils
Craft / Game: Paper Cup Telephones
Materials:
q
Paper cups
q
String
q
Tape
Make a small hole in the base of each cup. Insert one string from the outside to the
inside of each set of cups and secure it with a piece of tape. Let the Cub and his partner talk to each
other. Be sure to keep the string taut
but don't pull so hard that the string comes untaped. Suggest they have a code word to indicate
they are done talking, so each knows when to change from listening mode to
speaking mode.
Role Play: Manners on the Phone
Materials:
q
Paper cup telephones or real/toy phones
Description of Game:
Using phones (not plugged in or turned on), let boys role
play how to use the phone, how to ask for a friend, how to politely handle a
wrong number, how to answer the phone.
Role Play: Manners at the Door
Materials Needed:
q
Name tags that say: Adult that you know; Adult
stranger; Friend; Home teachers
Description of Game:
Role play answering the door – if you know who is there and
you have been asked to answer it. How do
you greet a friend? How do you greet an
adult? How do you let a parent or family
member know someone is there to see them?
And after a friend’s visit, role play the right kind of comment: Say “Thanks for coming.” And if you are the friend who came to visit,
say something like, "Thanks for having me."
Game: Snowman Melt
Materials:
q
Scarf, hat and mitts
Set Up:
One cub, the Snowman, dressed up in the hat and scarf,
stands stiffly facing the group. He must not respond in any way - by giggling,
moving or speaking.
Action:
The object of the game is for the other boys to get a reply
to their questions, such as "What's your middle name? Who's your best
friend? Do you like ice cream?" or to make the Snowman laugh by making
faces. No touching is allowed.
Establish a short time limit and play several times. Any boy
who gets a response from the Snowman becomes the next one.
Finish up with
SNOWMELT: everyone turns into a snowman and at the signal "the sun
comes out," the snowmen begin to "melt down" to the floor - the
last one to melt completely (stretch out on the floor) is the winner. Rule: keep moving at the same time.
