GATHERING ACTIVITY: Gathering
Snowballs
Materials:
- Cotton balls
- Wooden Spoons
How to Play:
Scatter cotton balls on the floor. Give the players a wooden spoon. On signal, they try to pick up the balls with
the spoons and put them in a large bowl on the table. No hands allowed.
GAMES: SANTA’S HELPERS
Materials:
•
Gift wrap
•
Tape
•
Wrapping paper
•
Boxes to wrap
•
Party Favors
How to Play:
In this game, teams of two player’s race against one another
to gift wrap a package. The catch? Each player must hold one hand behind his back,
an impediment that makes it necessary for partners to communicate and work
together. To set up, put out two party favors, one box, and a sheet of wrapping
paper, tape, and yarn for each pair.
Each team must race to wrap the favors in the box and tie a bow. The first team to finish (a judge's call)
wins the gift.
VARIATION FOR SMALL
GROUPS: Have two Cubs working
together to do the above, but rather than racing another team, time them and
see if they can do it faster the second time.
GAMES: Candy Game
Materials:
- Name tags
- Wrapped Candy
How to Play:
Put pieces of candy all around room keeping them in obvious
places. Each boy is given a name tags--
"Yum, yum" "Ding, ding" "Ho, ho” or "Boom,
boom" Make sure that one name tag
for each group has an "L" on the back, as this will denote the leader
of that group. On signal, the boys
scatter through the room in search of the candy which they are not allowed to
touch! Only the leader can pick up the
candy so that each boy must make his sound until the leader of his group comes
over to pick up the candy. The team
ending up with the most pieces of candy is the winner, and splits the loot.
