Games and activities

 

Game- Scout Salute (Form of Duck, duck, Goose)

Choose someone to be “it”. The Joey Scout selected walks around the circle and taps another Joey Scout on the shoulder. The two Joey Scouts salute each other and shake hands with the Left hand shake, at which point the Leader calls go. The Joey Scouts run in opposite directions to try and get back to the empty space left in the circle first. The person left out of the circle then continues the game by walking around the circle and tapping another Joey Scout.

 

Game- Find BP

Equipment: Two sets of letters for Baden Powell. (Different colours).

Divide the Joey Scouts into two teams; call them different colours.

Hide the Letters around the hall. Ask the Joey Scouts to find the letters of Baden Powell bring them back and place them in order. The Joey Scout can only take one letter at a time, they could help each other by telling others in their team where they saw a letter.

 

 

Science matching

2 teams - each team is given a set of scientific discoveries, or instruments (eg. compass, X-ray machine) and they have to find the matching picture of what the item does.

 

eg.       Compass tells direction if you are lost.

            Ruler measures length of wood

 

Scardey milk

Milk on a plate, drop small drops of food colouring onto the milk.  Dip a matchstick end into detergent and touch the surface of the milk and watch what happens.

 

Surface tension.

Fill your cup up to the very top with water, what happens as you add another drop and another and another.  The water level comes above the top of the cup – held together by surface tension.  Until you add one drop toooo many that is!

 

Is black really black?

But a large black dot on the bottom of the strip of paper.  Place the paper i the cup of water and watch the black turn into different colours.
