Game: Transport relay
Beaver Scouts run around the room ‘revving their engines’
Leader calls –
Mind that child = walk slowly
Red lights ahead = stop where they are
Zebra crossing = run to the middle of the room and lie on the floor
Green lights ahead = run around the room
Amber lights ahead = walk slowly
Add some more instructions of your own
Game:
Stop and go
Prepare 4 sets of traffic lights as per colours below.
Beaver Scouts obey the traffic lights (check if there are any beavers who are colour blind!) you hold up –
Red= STOP, do not run
Green = run to end of room
Amber = get ready to go
Red + amber = slow down ready to stop
Alter the sequence to make a fast moving game
Game: Transport trouble
Beaver Scouts sit on chairs in a circle with a leader in the middle. The leader moves around the inside of the circle imitating a means of transport (car, bus, train) and taps the players at random who must follow her/him copying the actions. When 3 or 4 players are following the leader, she shouts ‘all change’ whereupon all the players (and leader) must sit on a chair. The player without a chair starts off with a new form of transport.
