Game: Can Recycling Game

 

 

 

The Beaver Scouts need to pretend to be aluminum cans using actions and sounds to show what is happening to them throughout their "life". They are out if they perform the wrong actions or if they don’t perform the action. The winner is the last "can" left standing.

The leader will call out certain words, each of which has an action.

Here are the words and actions:

Shop - Pretend to be cans in the shop, stacked on shelves. All stand together in rows, facing the same way. If you face the wrong way you are out!

Drink - end over backwards or forwards as if tilting into someone’s mouth and make a gulping noise.

Can bank - Make a sound effect "crash". Lie on the floor. Keep still. Anyone who moves is out.

Filling machine - Pretend you are being filled up with drink, jump around and shake.

Conveyor belt - All join up in a line holding each other’s waist. The last person to join the conveyor belt is out, and so is anyone who breaks the line.

Crusher - Everyone must make themselves into a small ball on the floor and keep still. Anyone moving is out.

Bailer - Everyone run to the middle of the room and huddle together as close as possible. Any stragglers are out.

Melt down - All the cans must wobble and make a bubbling noise as they drop to the floor.

New can - Hold your arms in the air and stretch up to the sky waiting to be filled with drink.

Lorry - Jiggle about like cans stacked in lorry on their way to the shop.

Poem: Recycle Glass by Daniel Stockdale aged 9 – St Aelred’s RC School, York

 

 

 

Throwing away a bottle is a crime

They can be recycled time after time

Smash it! Crash it! in

Deep inside the recycling bin

 

It doesn’t matter what colour green,

brown or clear

Just make sure you recycle it here!

Smash it! Crash it! in

Deep inside the recycling bin

 

Cola bottles and jam jars,

Empty bottles from pubs and bars

Smash it! Crash it! in

Deep inside the recycling bin

 

So please don’t throw your glass away

We want to recycle it day after day

Smash it! Crash it! in

Deep inside the recycling bin
