Toys, 09/01/09

Opening and chat about this evenings programme and what their best ever gift was. Ask them to think about what gift they would give to the world if they had the power.

Game: Skittles
Chair at each end of playing area and 3 skittles in the centre.
Beavers in 2 teams – each Beaver is numbered.
When their number is called they have to run to their teams chair and throw the bean bag to try and knock the skittles down. First to knock 2 down is the winner.

Activity: Toy time line
In teams the Beavers are given a timeline of when toys were invented and 20 pictures of toys with the dates they were invented. They have to put them in order and talk about them with the leader.
Time line from here

Game: Teddy in the Middle
Every one sits in a circle except for one Beaver Scout who sits in the middle with their teddy in front of them. Blindfold the Beaver Scout.
Choose a player from the circle
This player must creep round the outside of the circle, back to their place and pick up the teddy without the person in the middle pointing to them.
If the person points directly at them, they sit down where they are and someone else is chosen. If they reach the teddy then they change places with the person in the middle.
