Games and activities

 

TAILS

Each Joey Scout has a piece of coloured paper (tails) tucked into the back of their pants/skirt. The aim is to try and gather as many tails as possible.

 

Variation: This may be played as a team game, with tails of two colours. Joey Scouts gather opposing team’s tails.

 

 

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

 

Lolly Relay.

2 teams start up one end with a plate of smarties, each Joey has a straw and they have to suck up a smartie and carry it to the plate at the other end of the room without dropping it.  First team to get all their smarties at the other end of the hall wins.

 

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.
