Collect a number of large boxes from the local supermarket. Let the Beavers colour the boxes - like Dragon boats - in red (for summer, heat and fire). Let them do their own thing.
Chat - Talk about the evening
Talk about the animals that represent the years - what are the Beaver Scouts ?
Using the Dragon Boats from the coming in game have some relay races.
Craft: Dragon
Green card, 2 long strips of green paper, sticky tape, scissors, 2 drinking straws, crayons
Stick the 2 ends of the paper strips together at right angles to each other. Fold the other over the top of the first and keep folding alternatively until the paper is used up. Stick the 2 end together to fasten off the folds.
Fold the card in ½ and draw a dragons head on - cut out and stick to one end of the body. Attach a tail and stick on the 2 straws to the back and front of the dragon to work the puppet
Chopsticks
Cut up some chocolate or have some Polos (check for allergies before choosing the sweets)
Let the Beavers in relays try to pick up the sweets with chopsticks.
Shuttlecock
This game has been played for centuries in China
You may not have enough rackets - so let the Beavers make some out of card and bat the shuttlecocks about!
