Game:  Who we are

BS sit in a circle. The leaders rolls a ball to a BS and says ‘Over to you <BS name>’. The BS catches the ball and rolls it to another Bs and repeats the words. Carry on until all have had a go and perhaps they have learned a few names!

Craft: Beaver hat

On a piece of A3 paper draw 3 ovals (each touching) – one the beavers head; one the body and one the tail. In the centre of the body draw a square (you will se why later.

The BS should colour the shapes and make them look like a beaver.

A leader then cuts strips into the square – so that when put onto the BS head they fit like hats.

Game:  Beavers (using the rules for Port and Starboard)

Gnaw a tree – crouch down & pretend to gnaw

Build a dam in numbers – BS get into groups of that number

Catch a fish – clap hands, with outstretched arms

Go to sleep – curl up into a ball on the floor

Swim – get into line in front of the leader

Be a log – lie on the floor with one leg in the air
