Game: Ambidextrous Relay

Joeys are in relay formation. On “go” the first Joey hops up to the end of the hall on their left foot and then back on their right foot. Tag the next player who repeats. (Explain that B-P was ambidextrous.)

 

Activity: Make World Badge Plate
Download fleur-de-lis from:

http://www.gwsjoeys.org.au/resources.html

 

Cut out fleur-de-lis, stick in centre of plate. Tie a piece of string with a reef knot and glue around plate.

 

Story: Left Handshake
Lord Baden-Powell used to tell the story of two tribes in Africa that were constantly at war with one another, until suddenly one day the leader of one of them had a change of heart. He came to the border of his own territory and, when the chief of the opposing tribe appeared, flung down his shield and held out his left hand in friendship, saying that here was proof as he had come unarmed and in a new spirit.

 

Game: Joey Scout Handshake

Joeys are in free formation. All Joeys run around. When the music stops Joeys shake hands with their left hand.

 

Activity: Left/Right Writing

Joeys write their name with their right hand and then with their left hand. (Continuation of ambidextrous theme.)

 

Game: Who Owns the Name Tag?

Put all name tags in middle of circle (face down). Taking turns the Joey Scouts and Leaders select a name tag and try to identify who owns it. If unsure clues can be given.
