Game: Silent Passing

Equipment: blindfold, noisy objects i.e. babe’s rattle, keys, tin of marbles, the crackly paper between layers in a biscuit tin etc

Beavers sit in a circle with one beaver blindfolded in the centre.

Two or three beavers are given potentially noisy objects to pass round the circle. The beaver in the centre listens and points to any sound he/she hears and if he/she points to a beaver holding one of the objects that beaver then goes into the middle and is blindfolded instead. The aim of the game is to pass to objects as quietly as possible.

Game:  Silent Follow my leader

One Beaver is chosen to be the ‘Guesser’ and is asked to leaver the room (with a leader), using sign language. A ringleader is then chosen and all the Beavers have to copy his movements. When the ‘guesser’ comes back into the room everyone has started copying the ringleader’s actions and the ‘guesser’ has to find out who he/she is. Make sure the Beavers don’t look directly at the ringleader or they will give the game away.
