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.



Theme Activity: Kitchen Safety

Materials Needed:
q  Worksheet 1: Kitchen Safety
q  Information Sheet: Kitchen Stove and Microwave Safety
q  Pencils
q  Kitchen Stove or microwave
q  Pots (2)
q  Water
q  Hot chocolate mix
Hand out information sheets and review the material on them.
Begin the process of boiling water in two pots. Set a timer or note the time on a watch.
·         Measure the same amount of water into each pot.
·         Place both pots on the same size of burner.
·         Place a lid on only one pot.
·         Time the pots to see how long they take to come to a full rolling boil.
Have the cubs do the worksheet on kitchen safety while they wait for the water to boil.
·         Cool the water down a little with cold water and have the Cubs each make a cup of hot chocolate to drink as he finishes his kitchen safety worksheet.
·         File the worksheets in the Home and Community section of the Cub Binders.
ANSWERS to Kitchen Safety Worksheet: pan on front burner with handle turned outwards; soup boiling over (which may cause flames to rise higher and burn towel); knife on kitchen table; knife set placed low enough for child to reach; live kettle cord; sharp can top in garbage can; overflowing garbage (which child may touch and then touch mouth – germs); rug on highly polished floor near cooker; water heater low enough on wall for child to reach; feces from cat litter (which could cause disease if child puts them in her mouth.)

Readers Theater: Respect

Have the cubs read for each letter of the word 'Respect'

Leader: We would like to introduce you to our word of the month.
R stands for rules. Cub Scouts obey the rules.
E stands for environment. Cub Scouts treat the environment with care.
S stands for speech. Cub Scouts use good speech and good manners.
P stands for personal appearance. Cub Scouts keep themselves neat, clean, and physically fit.
E stands for example. Cub Scouts set an example by treating others as they would like to be treated.
C stands for courtesy. Cub Scouts are kind and courteous to others.
T stands for things. Cub Scouts take care of the things that belong to others.
Leader: There are many ways that we can show respect.
R Respect for the rules of our country means obeying the law. Respect for rules also means we listen and follow directions from our parents and leaders.
E Respect for our environment means we use resources wisely, and do not litter.
S Respect in speech means using good manners, respecting God by not swearing or using unkind words in my speech.
P Respect for ourselves means to dress neatly. Respect for ourselves also means taking care of our bodies—exercising, eating healthful foods, and getting enough sleep.
E Respect means to disagree, without being disagreeable.
C also stands for country. Respect to the flag means we hang it correctly, and do not let it touch the ground.
T Respect for our belongings means taking good care of them.
Leader: I challenge each of you to remember to show respect every day. It will make you and others happy!
