Racing Frogs
Make a template of a flattened out frog shape and let the Beavers draw round it in card and colour in.
Then help them to cut the shapes out.
Stick an old pop bottle top to the underside of the frog
Using a large marble and a trestle table propped up at one end to make it slope - have some races.
Game: Lily Pad relay
Lodges stand in relay formation. Each lodge is given a circle of paper (one less than the number of Beavers in the lodge). They have to make their way to the other end of the room using the circles as stepping stones.
Craft: Frog catchers
The Beavers all have a small paper plate. They colour the underside green and the top side pink. Then fold the plate in ½ and add ‘googly’ eyes (or circles of white paper instead).
The Beavers then stamp out a butterfly (if you don’t have a rubber stamp to do this draw one for each child). Colour it in and cut it out. Then attach to a piece of wool and stick into the frogs mouth.
See who can make their frog catch the butterfly!
Game: Hopping Relay
Usual relay rules. The Beavers have to hop like frogs up and down the rule. You could repeat with the Beavers hopping in different ways.
