Coming in game:

Ask the Beaver Scout to draw their face on an A4 piece of paper. Make sure that the ‘face’ fills the paper as they will have to cut it out and use it later on.

Game: All Change

 

The BS are numbered 1,2,3,4 etc.  The leader calls out two numbers.  These players must change seats quickly, while the BS in the centre tries to secure a seat.  When the leader calls all change all the BS must swap places.

Craft: How will I change?

 

Using the faces the Beaver Scout made in the coming in game – ask the Beaver Scout to cut them out.

Then (in pairs) the Beaver Scout should stick their face to the wall, so it is level with their own face.

Keep them there for as long as you can and then in a few months the Beaver Scout will be able to see how much they have grown.

Game: Straight Faces

 

Nobody can keep a straight face in this game!  Players sit in a circle, fairly close together.  The leader solemnly taps the knee of the person to his right, and each player in turn does the same.  When that action gets back around to the leader, he then taps the cheek of the player to his right.  And so on, with the nose, ear, eye, mouth, or until a player dissolves into laughter
