Game: Weeding the garden
A few pieces of newspaper are spread on the floor – this represents gardens.
The beaver Scouts run around the room and on the command ‘garden’ they stand on a piece of paper (with at least one foot on it). Anyone who is not on a piece is the ‘weed’ that has to be pulled out of the garden – so they are out. Gradually remove the paper until only one piece is left.
Skill: Planting Seeds
Using the compost and seed trays the Beaver Scouts prepare the tray and then plant the seeds. They should also make a label showing what has been planted, when and by who.
Game: Flowers
Same rules as ‘Fruit Salad’ with the Beaver Scouts being named – daisy, buttercup, rose, carnation (or the like). When ‘flowers’ is called they all swap places.
Game: Corners
Corners game using the things needed to help plants grow – soil, water, sun, weeding.
