Like musical statues - when the music is playing the Beavers should wobble like jellies - when it stops they 'freeze'
Jelly on a plate
In relay the Beavers race to the end of the hall with jelly on a plate - bit messy? - so try ping-pong balls instead ! Can they do it with 2 plates?
Jelly Survey
Have blindfold tasting session where the Beavers have to try to identify 4 or 5 different sorts of jelly
Pip, squeak and Wilfred - a very silly messy game!
You need:
A pip - from an orange or grapefruit
A squeak - babies squeaky toy
Wilfred - a bucket containing a gooey mess (surplus jelly, poster paints, water flour - anything you can think of!)
Plastic sheeting or newspapers to cover the floor!
The colony sits in a large circle and is numbered off in threes
The leader calls out a number and 'pip', 'squeak' or 'Wilfred'
All the Beavers with that number jump up and run around the circle (in same direction!) and enter the circle in their own place and make for the middle.
If 'pip' is called they try to be the first to pick up the pip
If 'squeak' is called they try to be the first to pick up the toy and give it a good squeeze
If 'Wilfred' is called the winner then gets the chance to plunge their hand into the gooey mess!!!
