Game: Weeding the garden

A few pieces of newspaper are spread on the floor – this represents gardens.

The beaver Scouts run around the room and on the command ‘garden’ they stand on a piece of paper (with at least one foot on it). Anyone who is not on a piece is the ‘weed’ that has to be pulled out of the garden – so they are out. Gradually remove the paper until only one piece is left.

Skill: Planting Seeds

Using the compost and seed trays the Beaver Scouts prepare the tray and then plant the seeds. They should also make a label showing what has been planted, when and by who.
