Game: What comes next ?

A leader starts this counting game by having the first Beaver say one. The next Beaver says two, and then, three, and so on. When a Beaver comes to five or a number with five in it, he says, buzz. When a Beaver comes to seven or a number with seven in it, he says, fizz. For example, 57 would be buzz-fizz. When a Beaver who misses; drops out and the next one starts over with one.

Game: Shake Hands With a Friend

This game is a quick way to introduce Beavers to each other in a safe and unthreatening manner. The leader counts off the Beavers by ones, twos, or threes. Everyone then walks around the room shaking hands with each other. A Beaver whose number is one, shakes the other Beaver's hand once. If the number is two, the Beaver shakes a hand twice. If the number is three, the Beaver shakes three times. One Beaver will have to stop shaking while the other Beaver continues because each Beaver shakes a different number of times. Beavers with identical numbers form a group looking for other Beavers with the same number

Song: Ten Brown Beavers (Tune: Ten Green Bottles)

 There were ten brown Beavers building up a dam,

Ten brown Beavers building up a dam,

And if one brown Beaver left the dam and swam,

There'd be nine brown Beavers building up a dam.

(continue as in Ten Green Bottles)

There'd be no brown Beavers left to build a dam.
