All except one Six are blindfolded and sit on the floor, spaced around the hall. At one end of the hall are piled the eggs (beanbags or other objects) The free Six must tiptoe quietly through nest of cobras to try to steal the eggs and return without being 'bitten' (touched by waving arms) Note - only one egg can be taken per cub at a time. When all eggs have been stolen, or after a set time, select another Six to have a go. Note - any Beaver 'bitten' is regarded as dead and is out
