Let the Beavers colour some pictures of things in the Illuminations
Game: Put up the lights
Have washing lines stretched between chairs (one per lodge) + (say) 20 card light bulbs per lodge
The Beavers have to peg to the line card ‘light bulbs’ - first to finish wins
Craft:
Colony Lights
Let the Beavers cut shapes out of dark card and then cover the holes with coloured cellophane. Shine a torch at the back of the pictures and see how the light changes colour.
Game:
Repair the illuminations
Start by explaining that the wind has blown down the lights - the Beavers have to run to the centre of the room and collect pictures of things they would need to repair the lights (have pages taken out of catalogues showing hammers, screw drivers, light bulbs etc) - give them say 2 minutes. Then they have to say why they selected those items.
