Chat about St David - Story of St David - Emblem = Daffodil & leek - Flag design
Game: Welly Throw Beavers line up in teams. Each one has a cardboard "welly". See who can throw the welly into a large hoop on the floor. Usual relay rules.

Craft Bases:
1. Daffodil craft - cut the petal shape as template. Fold a length of yellow crepe paper (appx 45cm by 5cm) in half and the roll to form "trumpet", glue into centre of petals. Cover straw in green crepe paper and attach to flower head. Add a leaf or two.
2. Welsh Flag - using template Beavers dragon onto a piece of paper (appx 15cm x 20cm) - as template, colour in. Attach to garden cane or straw.

Game: Penning Sheep Make horse-shoe shape of chairs. Beavers stand behind their own chair - they "are in the field". On command " run round the field" the Beavers run around the outside of the horse-shoe in clockwise direction. On command "sheep in the pen" Beavers run into the horse-shoe and sit on ANY chair. They are not allowed to climb over the chairs or run anti-clockwise into the horse-shoe. As game progresses remove 2 chairs. The Beavers who are "out" can then make the calls. Continue until 2 Beavers remain.
