Promise, 03/07/09

In the pond
Beavers stand with their toes touching the circle. Leaders call out ‘In the pond’ (beavers jump in the circle) or ‘On the bank’ (jump outside the circle), slowest beaver loses a life (roll up one sleeve). Try and catch them out by saying ‘ON the pond’ or ‘IN the bank’, if they move they lose a life. When they lose all their lives they sit on the bank, last one standing is the winner.

Promise Jigsaw
Prepare cards (one set per lodge) with the words of the promise on them.
Have a copy of the promise printed out to show the Beaver Scouts.
In relay fashion the Beavers line up at one end of the room
In turn they run to the other end – roll the dice and find the card with that number on it. They take the card back to their lodge and when all the pieces are retrieved they make up the promise..

Hand Promise
The Beavers draw around their hand and colour it in
The cut it out and stick it onto the piece of paper with the promise written on it.
