Joey Scout Program                   

Game – N,E,S,W with Joey Scout promise.

Make the four walls of the hall North, South, East and West. When a leader calls north, all the Joeys run to that wall, south they run to that wall and so on. When the leader says:

• North - I Promise – make the Scout sign.
• South - Do My Best – Salute.
• East - Love My God – Place hand on heart.
• West - Be helpful – Joeys get into pairs and link arms.

Game – Getting to Know You.

Need: Balloons.

The Joey Scouts stand in a circle. A leader is in the centre with a balloon, keeping it off the ground by patting it into the air. When the leader calls out a Joey scout’s name, that Joey steps into the middle and continues to keep the balloon from touching the floor. The Joey then calls another Joey Scout to take over the balloon. Continue until all the Joey Scouts have had a turn. If the balloon touches the floor the leader restarts the game.

Game – “Ilara says”

Simon says for Joeys!

Game: Sergeant-Major’s coming

Play this as usual, but with the following:

Actions:

• Whistle blow is incoming shell, Joeys to crouch down and cover heads;
• Sergeant-Major’s coming – stand and salute;
• Minefield – stand and freeze on spot;
• Ceasefire – stand quietly in the middle of the circle;
• Salute the flag – turn and salute the flag wherever they are;
• Line up – run to the circle and stand at alert.

Spare - Game – Balloon Ladder

Divide Joey Scouts into two teams, each team sitting on the floor with feet touching the opposite teams. Their legs form the ladder. A leader bats a balloon between the lines and the Joey Scouts try to bat the ball over the heads of the opposite team. The Joey Scouts must remain seated. A point is scored each time the balloon touches the ground behind the opposite team. More balloons can be added.
