Gathering Activity: How Many Instruments Can You Find?

Materials:

·         Poster
Have the boys observe the photo and count how many instruments are in it. If they finish that and time allows have them begin to name the instruments. See who can come up with the most correct names for the pictured instruments.

Game: Ownership Musical Chairs


This is a variation of Musical Chairs, where each player marks a chair as his or her own before the music starts. When the music stops each player has to find his or her own chair and sit on it. The last person to do so is eliminated and his or her chair removed. The organizer may make the game more lively by giving different instructions as to how the players should move around the chairs. For example, they could be asked to walk backwards or to move quickly or slowly.

Game: The Gingerbread Man

Have everyone sit in a circle. The leader silently picks one chair to be the oven chair. The den is now the bakery and one person is the gingerbread man next. Can you figure out who it will be next?
·         Remembering who was sitting in the designated chair. All the cubs have to get up and change chairs to try to capture the Gingerbread Man.
·         The leader then asks, “Do you know who will be the gingerbread man next”?
·         Let the boys guess by pointing at the cubs sitting around the circle.
·         The leader now points to the student who WAS sitting in the ‘Oven’.
·         Can the boys figure out why it was this person?
·         The leader needs to remember who is sitting in the ‘Oven’ in THIS round and let the cubs get up and change chairs again.
·         The game continues until someone figures out the pattern.
·         The answer to the question, “Do you know who will be the gingerbread man next?” is the person who was sitting in the oven chair in the PREVIOUS round.  

Game: I Like People Who…

Everyone needs a place marker to stand on – tape, rubber spot or even a chalk mark.
Everyone forms a circle and stands on their spot. One cub is in the middle, his spot is removed. He calls out “I like people who . . .”
Suggestions: like camping, eat cereal for breakfast, love Brownies. Anyone who falls into that category must change places with another person in the circle to whom the statement applies. “It” tries to get a spot also and the person who is left in the middle makes the next statement. You may not take a space next to you!

Caller will say phrases like: “March largo style” – boys will march very slowly
                                                “Walk piano sytle” – boys will walk with small quiet movements
                                                “Jump fortissimo style” – boys will jump their largest boldest jumps
Additional actions may include waving, running, rolling, spinning, nodding, dancing, hopping, skipping, clapping, or any other movement you can think of. Simply add “Simon Says” before each command you wish the boys to do. If they follow instructions that Simon does not specify, they step out of the game.

Play until all the boys have a good understanding of the musical terms they need to know.
